[OSM-talk] Mapnik at zoom=19

[Jaakko Helleranta.com]

Big hand to OSM.fr for offering the z19!

I've asked about this need before and will now just +1 the need for this
also at osm.org.

I would also welcome z20 -- perhaps with some request base limits
(requested urban areas -- possibility to handle in more or less similar
fashion as Mike does the http://metro.teczno.com/ extracts through Git? ...
Perhaps ideally with some calculation on density of POI(?)-type objects?

But I would say in any case that the reality as I see it builds increasing
need for "very high" zoom levels. ... I recently switched to OsmAnd on my
Android because it zooms upto level 23 -- and I now use z20 and z21 on a
regular basis. ... E.g. these objects
http://layers.openstreetmap.fr/?zoom=19&lat=18.51517&lon=-72.28894&layers=B0000FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFshow
names of all POIs only at z22. .. And this is not even very densely
mapped! .. Perhaps this is a difference between The North and The South?

Cheers from Haiti,
