The example map of New York on the linked page has rather odd labeled places and street names. At the default zoom, it’s marked up as if New York, Hoboken, Weehawken, etc are literal points marked by tiny circles. This is particularly silly in the New York area, which is a continuous gridded metropolitan area. Then, when zooming in, you have to zoom very very far in before street names show up. This makes a map zoomed slightly less far in mostly useless, because you can’t tell where you are. I realize that people mostly don’t navigate by map any more, but if you are literally selling map tiles, presumably mostly not tied to the end user’s GPS, then whoever is looking at the map would like to know where they’re looking. For example, in Manhattan, the actual useful coordinates are the cross-streets, and the map is not very helpful without the street names. |
