Kartographer: ACME does not display "topological" maps, but "topographic" maps
Closed, ResolvedPublic
Actions

Description

The labelling of the single ACME map layer in the sidebar of the Kartographer slippy map is incorrect in English (and presumably in other languages). A topological map is diagrammatic and ignores actual geography, whereas a topographic map shows elevation using contour lines. The dropdown menu below "Map services" says "topological".

@Mholloway I've reported this at translatewiki.net, which I hope is the right place.

Now there are "Topographic" and "Terrain" map services listed. From translator's perspective this makes me wonder, is there a meaningful distinction between the two? Maps under both currently show terrain cartography features like contour lines and hill-shading.
