[OSM-talk] [Talk-GB] Not-properly-Open-but-called-Open

[Richard Mann]

Look at http://xn--pnvkarte-m4a.de/ <http://öpnvkarte.de/> and in particular
the joins between routed ways at high zoom. Andy does all the routes on a
separate layer to remove all the overlaps (some kind of filtering; dunno the
details), then recombines. Yes this would be good to do on Mapnik, but I
surmise it's non-trivial or they'd have done it.
