We just shipped a visual overhaul of water rendering in Stamen Terrain. More consistent coastlines, better detail at low zoom, and somehow smaller tile sizes than before.
Before/after: Iceland, Norway, Scandinavia, Lake Ontario.
h/t @stamen.com for the original cartography.

Most geocoding APIs give you one endpoint and call it done. We have three forward geocoding endpoints, each optimized for a different use case.
Picking the wrong one shows up in your results quality and your bill.

71% of Earth's surface is water. We finally gave it the cartographic attention it deserves.
New basemap update: smarter relevance for large lakes, cleaner ocean labels, centered lake label placement, and straits in the water_name layer.
