| MapGuide | Mapnik |
- Both software configured to tile 256x256
- MapGuide bad at rendering road name. For road name that not fit in road curve, MapGuide render by lower font size (illegible), rotate the label at random rotation
- It hard to configure road number 'shield' for MapGuide cartographic styling. The road number in picture above is rendered using point. hint: minimize 'repeat' value when debugging. Mapnik ShieldSymbolizer much easier to configure, 'min_distance' attribute is cool!
- Mapnik render road label smarter than MapGuide
