Re: Tiny World Map
#2I woule adjust city density based on surroundings. I remember getting lost in Maps.me while in northern Russia: zooming out will not display any tiny villages of the area whereas zooming in will not place any of those on the screen. So you got a blank slate.
Meanwhile, displaying every suburb of a metropolis possessing a town status may be superfluous.

Interesting comment. I guess it should be optimised for density uniformity somehow.

Yes, many of the islands are missing even if they have labels (e.g. Faroe Islands). It would be nice if there was just a blob there at least.

Agreed. I get that there has to be a trade off between size and coverage, but if it's a map it should really have the option - at least - for the person implement it to choose density. Personally, I'd want every island to be at least shown as a blob.

I noticed the islands too (apparently only islands above a certain size "qualify" - of the Canary Islands you only get Gran Canaria and Tenerife, of the Galapagos Islands only Isabela, of the Azores - nothing), but all European "microstates" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_microstates) are also not shown, some of them (Liechtenstein, San Marino) not even as labels.

You can always zoom to a level such that there's nothing there. And if all that is there is a few small villages, then "nothing there" isn't far of the mark anyway.
If you include smaller cities to 'fill in blank spaces', then either:
a) You'd have to drop a bigger city/suburb elsewhere. Not display a 1M town to be able to display a 10k town in thinly populated area elsewhere? Hmmm...
b) Or the app get bigger. Which defeats the purpose of having a tiny world map.
Want more detail? Just use some other app.
