Add casing to street names (was Black street names versus trees)
These street names look great!:
Except when they are on top of a dark background, like trees:
(You would never guess the name of that lane.)
Perhaps the names could have their borders following along with them, like in this example:
That way they would be safe, no matter what the background, or what font size the user uses, or screen magnification etc.
Android does not support adding casing to text, so this would have to be done by a workaround in some form by writing the text twice. This works OK for linear features (that is how the casing is added for ways), but is likely rather messy and slow for text.
The standard attribution text uses a shadow layer (provided by Android) to enhance legibility, but that doesn't really work that well.
