@simon @felixcremer til something about osm nodes. what distance are 2 neighboring nodes away? or does this vary of the resolution of the area. like on the high seas there are more miles away than in Detroit

@utf_7 @felixcremer the easiest way to calculate this is to use the Haversine distance, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haversine_formula Outside of that nodes are placed where they are deemed necessary to replicate the geometry of the objects. Naturally a rendering on a map can smooth that out if the designer wants to (most don't though).
