TopOSM changelog

2010-09-03

Higher zoom levels from the CO and US West Coast maps were merged with the US-wide map.

Massachusetts is still available as an option, since these tiles are a different style with higher detail in some respects

New rendering of TopOSM-CO:

• Fresh data from planet.osm.
• Ski lifts, aerial tramways etc. are now rendered.

Released TopOSM Colorado. Changes include:
