I am building an outdoor map of Europe. Everything looks pretty nice when zoomed in. But when I am zoomed out, my map looks pretty boring. Most parts are white.In low zoom levels I display polygons only at a certain size. So there aren't many polygons that I could f.e. render as a green forest or grass-lands.
Does anybody know which information f.e. the MapQuest Map uses for zoom levels form 4 - 8? Which polygons or which information is used to render most parts of Europe and America green, or the northern part of Africa brown, the poles white and so on?
I am using a Natural-Earth raster myself for the first few zoom levels, but after I can use those... which OSM information could I use? Or are there some open shape files I could use?
Any hints are very much appreciated!!!
