Make style better reflect greenness of country at high zoom levels
If you look at satellite imagery for the Netherlands, it is quite a green country. Google Maps reflects this well by filling the country with mostly green shades on higher zoom levels.
If I zoom out my own style, it looks very white / greyish, while wood and grass landcover layers are not set to disappear at high zoom levels in the style.json. I use a 'stock' tilemaker installation with an oceans extract. Am I missing data in the tilemaker input or output that could be used to improve the style.json to accomplish my goal?
The default style with tilemaker is designed to be compatible with the OpenMapTiles schema. So the question is really a) is the greenery data in OSM in the first place; b) does the standard OMT schema represent it in the vector tiles?
If it does and we’re not faithfully emulating the OMT schema, that’s an error and we should fix it. If you can point to an OMT example which does it “properly” that would help.
If it’s not in the OMT schema, then you’ll need to tweak the schema yourself. Possibly the easiest way would be to find some landcover shapefiles and add them to the config.json, then tweak the style if required to show them.
