What is going on with county lines in AAMaps?

[Molandfreak]

County lines are appearing as purple lines similar to state boundaries, but only in a few states. I checked OSM to see if someone had changed the admin level of one of these counties, but it wasn't changed from level 6. Anyone know what's going on here?

Interesting, it seems to be affecting some states (Kansas, Colorado) but not others (Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico). I sent Minh a message. My guess is something is going on somewhere along the stream between OSM and AAMaps, so he should be able to clue us in shortly.

This is happening with OSM Americana as well, which is the level one above us which our maps are a reskin of. So it's probably something upstream from them—they're aware of it (though currently baffled), so once they fix Americana it will fix AAMaps too.

Just don't look at central Mexico.  Good God...

Apparently every municipality is a country in the map. Oaxaca has over 500 municipalities. The world hasn't seen border gore like this since the Holy Roman Empire.

To be fair municipalities are probably the closest analog to what a county would be here. 

I'm honestly surprised someone would try taking on labeling surface Federal Highways when the data set is so bad.  Just looking at Jalisco I'm seeing some assumptions for cities and errors like Jalisco Route 401 being labeled as Federal Highway 54.  The reality is Federal Highways generally just disappear into the void in most cities.

No, each municipality is its own country, not its own county or state. Check the border thickness.

Ah, that would be an issue then.

Coastal Nova Scotia is quite a hoot right now too.

And Bangkok is impressively purple.

But Turkey is really wacky, suffering a similar issue as the USA but on a more granular level.
