Description

Place labels in Uganda at high zooms look all the same. It is hard to differentiate between important cities and tiny hamlets.

https://maps.protomaps.com/#map=11.26/-1.2703/29.9839&theme=light&renderer=maplibregl&tiles=https://build.protomaps.com/20231226.pmtiles

I think it is a problem in OSM because organic maps also looks terrible in Uganda.
