and for the record, yes, google maps is way better. Not only is the data more accurate, it uses consistent and easy to differentiate symbology.
- ris 12y agoYou are talking about the default map tile style, not OpenStreetMap itself. The default style is really designed for mappers to give them feedback in the editing process. The real intention is for a commercial entity (mapquest? mapbox?) to go and create beautiful consistent tiles and charge for their provision.
