Hi MapMakers,

As many of you have already noticed, we updated our tile rendering pipeline with a bunch of fixes last night.
Some of the fixed bugs in this release are:
- Missing labels in Cyprus
- Romania and other EEU countries cluttered with extra city names
- Missing city names at higher levels in Vietnam and other places
- Missing icons/labels for a lot of feature types.

There are still a few known issues that have not been fixed in this release like
- Missing route shields and bad road priorities.
- Flooding of some areas is only partially fixed with this release.
- Instant tiles still show the old-style icons.

Please continue to give feedback and file bug reports if you see new issues.

happy mapping,

Cheers,
Vish

Here are some bugs for now:

- Airports, Bus and Train stations polygons are vanished. 

- Colloquial names have become the major display names by replacing the any two main names.

- Load time of tiles has increased and after a short activity it tends to get very very slow.

- Primary highways are not showing up at any distinguish visibility at lower zoom making it worse to find difference between all roads from primary highways to minor arteries.

Regards,
جabran

Okay Rescue Services category does not have a fancy new relevant and
visually indicative icon? why a dull square POI icon?

Adding another issue here:

http://groups.google.com/group/map-troubleshooting/browse_thread/thread/868b324125707a7c

This is part of a bigger issue which resulted in airports disappearing
etc as noted above.

Can we have a page, not a thread, that lists missing features? I see
"landmark," for instance seems still to be missing. Frankly, until
the old features come back, especially key ones such as landmark, I
have mostly stopped mapping.

Whats missing now is the temporary edited state of roads, they used to
appear un-rendered and disconnected from the connecting
roads...remember!
I made a couple of edits yesterday and the roads still show as
rendered (they should not be) and these no-name roads still do not
show the name i gave them even in the temporary state.
this might be a localized problem:
http://www.google.com/mapmaker?gw=10&hl=en&ll=31.551906,74.313208&spn=0.005669,0.01193&z=17

the criss cross net of roads.

Hi,
@rjhintz - Here is the page you requested for. Some other categories
have also been introduced recently which we'll update on this page
subsequently.
http://groups.google.com/group/map-your-world/web/categories

@momers - Can you please elaborate the problem. I would think that
the roads *should* appear as connected & rendered if the rendering has
been completed. Seeing the criss-cross network that you are referring
to, I can see that it is not rendered now due to the delay in
rendering.

Regards,
Map Maker Guide.

What i am saying is that historically, when you edit a pre-rendered
road, it goes into a temporary yet-to-render state. it appears
highlighted by the fact that intersecting nodes appear raised or
'disconnected' and the road also takes on higher contrast edges. the
entire road appears 'raised' .

the location i mentioned did not exhibit that behaviour after i edited
the roads. roads appeared as if nothing had happened to them!

Hi All,
@rjhintz - There seems to be some issue in sharing forum pages. You
can, however, refer to following doc for the categories:
http://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=0AY8QbArq0LrJZGhic20yM21fMWhoN3BqNmZm&hl=en

You can report all removed categories, which you feel need to be
brought back, here: http://code.google.com/p/google-mapmaker/issues/detail?id=601

Regards,
Map Maker Guide.
