Switch to NE for country labels #2083

Open nvkelso opened 2 years ago

nvkelso commented 2 years ago

The NE tables for country ISO and country TLC contain all the information needed to add "country" labels to the map, without a SPAM and abuse vector from OSM.

To switch we'd need to form label geometries from the label_x and label_y columns, and to wire up FCLASS POV (replacing place:XX).

We'd also need to setup remapping of the FCLASS_ISO, FCLASSTLC, and other FCLASS* values to valid Tilezen kinds.
