#style We are adding icons for shop=storage_rental and amenity=school/university. School icon is a lovely combo of pencil and apple from @Mapbox's maki icon set. Other two come from @flaticon.

Played a bit with #Felt's raster support. Works pretty well with topo base map. Surprised to see a route annotation option. Well done well done.

#update Our two-day and weekly tile render schedules are a bit off due to increasing render backlog. We are trying to simplify updates to a simple 7-day frequency based on map changes.

Lately we've revised our storage architecture to incorporate S3 (compatible) object storage as a main tile repository (previously render server). The storage is replicated to Asia. Latency should be improved as a result. We are populating a few TB's of tiles to the storage.

The Topo map has some glitches at some areas. It's because raster DEM data is converted to a shape file, which has a size limit of 2GB. We'll soon start to find a solution for this.

#style Check out some new render of localized road shields! As our toolchain and workflow improve, the efficiency should be higher and we'll cover more countries in the coming months. Our rendering machines are full steam ahead doing their work to deliver it to you.
