Now would be a good moment for OpenStreetMap to make the Tracestrack Topo layer their default view — it's much clearer than their current default; even more so when compared to Google's attempt.

- RicoElectrico 3y agoWon't happen as the default layer has mapper feedback as one of the explicit goals.
- executesorder66 3y agoHow does that layer hinder mapper feedback if it becomes the default?
- habi 3y agoThe current default layer [1] has a short 'turnaround' time, meaning that changed tiles are quickly rendered, giving very short feedback time. The Tracestrack Topo is provided by a third party, without explicitly stated re-rendering turnaround times.

- habi 3y ago> As far as I can tell, Tracestrack’s style is currently a closed-source style, which makes it an unlikely candidate for a default layer.
