README.md

place

The place layer consists out of countries, states and cities. Apart from the roads this is also one of the more important layers to create a beautiful map. We suggest you use different font styles and sizes to create a text hierarchy.

Fields

  • name_en: The english name:en value if available.
  • name: The OSM name value of the POI.
  • rank: Countries, states and the most important cities all have a rank to boost their importance on the map. The rank field for counries and states ranges from 1 to 6 while the rank field for cities ranges from 1 to 10 for the most important cities and continues from 10 serially based on the local importance of the city (derived from population and city class). Use the rank field to build a text hierarchy. The rank value is a combination of the Natural Earth scalerank, labelrank and datarank values for countries and states and for cities consists out of a shifted Natural Earth scalerank combined with a local rank within a grid for cities that do not have a Natural Earth scalerank.
  • class: Distinguish between country, state and other city classes like city, town, village, hamlet, suburb, neighbourhood or isolated_dwelling. Use this to separately style the different places according to their importance (usually country and state different than cities).
