Specificity vs Readability

Publicado por 3ngineer em 29 abril 2017 em English. Última atualização em 22 maio 2017.

Sometimes I wonder if the ability to define such specific details actually makes the map more confusing and inconsistent rather than informative. By no means am I an expert, but I have a feeling that there’s a lot of info that’s practically not needed. The ability to add it just makes people fight and unhappy with others’ judgement. Also, the map can become confusing when very similar types of things are drawn different ways; I think that contributes to OSM’s messiness. Nevertheless, if we take out too much info, we would just become Google maps XD so perhaps just ensuring similar things have similar styles is the best approach.
