There's definitely a lot of scope for updates. The main toner dependency is actually the 'toner-background' tileset, which has unlabeled streets and unfancy rendering, making the pixel-mashing work. There may be more options there now, have you seen any good ones? I also think the CORS limitation is less of an issue lately, maybe a complete non-issue, so it should be possible to make it a pure client library and render from arbitrary sources. Very open to a PR here or just some additional background tiles to target.
For sure, one limiting assumption built in to the project is that street-bound blocks are the relevant unit of urban layout, but there are probably lots of urban typologies this leaves out, ie this apparently densely populated part of Yaounde:
I like the example you give, here's what I am seeing:
Again I am sure these big blocks have a lot of small pedestrian routes through them, anything that does a better job finding them or highlighting them would be a very nice to have.
thanks for making those blocks @bmount! i might submit a pull request this week.
perhaps they haven't updated globally in the past few years?
take a look at this place!
