At company I worked for (czech search engine Seznam.cz), the map team made an awesome 1st April easter egg when they took this to the eleven: https://mapy.cz/textova?x=15.5603819&y=49.5896653&z=13 https://mapy.cz/textova?x=15.5603819&y=49.5896653&z=13
(it just says 'roadroadroad', 'houseshouseshouses', 'riverriverriver' ... :))
- logicallee 8y agoI know you know it says roarroadroad but to me it looks foreign. When I zoom in I see this as great: https://imgur.com/a/g8q4WhB https://imgur.com/a/g8q4WhB And if Kopec in the lower center were the name of a street, I think it's great that it's written there. The only thing missing is the red dots, so instead of roadroadroadroad it said road·road·road·road (by the way you might wonder why I made the dots red in my example: it's so the eye can just focus on the red dots to sparsely get the road's path.) I just don't see the issue at all. It's way better, at that zoom level, to have to use my human ability to notice and ignore patterns and ignore noise while concentrating on what I want, than to use two fingers to try to zoom in enough for the map to place the names. I just don't see the issue with the view you presented. It looks great!
- iguy 8y agoOh that's awesome. For non-slavic speakers, I especially like how it stops at the border, so you can get half a screen of normal map and half a screen of strange words.
