It depends on the way the information is displayed. Of course it is always easy to simply ignore features and get therefore a lightweighted map, but if you render (in the case of private parkings) just the area filling without any Icon (or with a visually reduced icon like it is done now) you don't get an unreadable map, it simply gets more detailed without disturbing. IMHO part of the art is visualizing as many details and features as possible without jumping in the viewer's eye. This is done by e.g. choosing decent colours and selecting the "right" lineweights and zoom-levels. Cluttering and crowded "unreadable" maps on the other hand occur mostly from displaying stuff at "wrong" zoomlevels and from extensive use of icons. cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
