I'd like to suggest the following changes in the osmarender zoom levels
for T at H. I'm happy to implement them if there aren't major objections.
(1) Churches are currently rendered only at zoom 17. I think these are
substantially more prominent landmarks than many other features already
rendered at lower zoom levels. Therefore I propose:
- place_of_worship rendered as the usual symbol, possibly a little
smaller, at zoom 15
- additionally with its name and larger icon in 16 and 17
(also, the church symbol has got squished since the triangle symbol was
introduced for religion-less places of worship, so fix that)
(2) Render mini_roundabout and traffic_signals consistently. Currently
mini_roundabouts appear at 15 and traffic_signals at 17. I propose both
appear at 16.
(3) Render names of restaurants at zoom 17 (icon is already present).
(4) place=village currently appears at zoom 13. I'd like to move this up
to zoom 12 - having now done many villages around Cambridge the zoom 12
map looks very bald.
(5) highway=tertiary currently appears in zoom 12. I'd like to promote
this to zoom 11. (BTW, I think the recent changes to lower zooms is a
bug improvement - much clearer rendering of place names).
(6) Render shop=<anything> with same icon as supermarket and name at zoom 17
