Nice.
Those strike a pretty reasonable balance between seeing activity and
clutter.  They give a nice sense
of human activity across the planet.  Only the ferry routes seemed odd: in
some cases they are
prominent enough to look a bit like landform outlines or rendering mistakes.

For the opposite end of the spectrum ("high zoom") I'd love to fill in
blank areas of the map
with whatever meager data is available:

Here the goal is to show more of the features when zoomed into a sparse
area.  In the extreme example,
show the only oasis in the middle of an otherwise featureless desert tile
:-).
