> But it is also visible, that despite Americana being a relatively young and not yet feature complete project by its own goals, it already struggles significantly with the technical limitations of the map rendering framework used and the commercially developed data schema it is built on.
I wonder what goals of Americana the author feels are fallen short? [1]
> The purpose of the Americana project is to:
* Promote collaboration and shared purpose in the American mapping community
* Express the American experience through cartography, taking inspiration from the familiar features of North American paper maps
* Close technology gaps that impede the use of American cartographic principles. Where the technology to build our map doesn't exist, we will build it.
