very nice to see where taxes go.
- akie 5y agoI'm so exasperated with this extreme anti-government slant on this website. Just so disappointing.
- guilhermeasg 5y agoExpressing disappointment at the quality of a taxpayer-funded project is not the same as “anti-government slant”. This is the state of online rhetoric, where disagreeing with someone is “hating”.
- jhgb 5y agoWhat is your specific complaint with details here? As for resolution...ESRI shapefiles are vector files, they don't have a resolution.
- WinstonSmith84 5y agoMy complaint about details is that the maximum zoom has an approximate resolution of 1cm/km, just try it out. Is that unreasonable to ask for something more precise in 2021? If some public money had to be spent to fund an alternative to Google Maps / Maps.me / etc., this could have been rather used to help some open source projects such as OpenStreetMap
- jhgb 5y ago> Is that unreasonable to ask for something more precise in 2021? As I pointed out below, simplifications are difficult. Lots of OSM-derived basemaps are fine when you zoom in but look daft at small scales (for example check out https://www.baremaps.com/assets/demo.html https://www.baremaps.com/assets/demo.html for this phenomenon). So if this map provides you with a good look at a small scale, adding in the details should be fairly easy. Doing it the other way around seems much tougher.
