so to decide which label should be bigger or rendered at lower zoom level you would suggest to: * map bays as areas, with all previously mentioned issues * design a sophisticated computer algorithm to calculate the size of bays and derive bay importance from this Wow.. masterpiece of mapping for the renderer I would say. There must be easier ways of achieving this. Richard _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
