[OSM-talk] Isn't it time for a higher zoom level?

[Igor Brejc]

Richard, thanks for mentioning Kosmos :)
Yes, Kosmos draws OSM data on-the-fly and it supports continuous zoom 
levels (I've limited it up to zoom level 18 because of some .NET drawing 
engine problems on higher zooms). There are two drawbacks however: it 
runs on Windows only and the latest released version is getting old. But 
I'm working (hard?) on the v3 version which I hope will be easier to use 
and more powerful. And if I get the time, I'll try to make it Linux (and 
Mac)-friendly.
