Hi, I am new to using QGis and the OpenStreetMap plugin. I'm using OSM as a tile layer only as background for another layer. When I zoom in to a location, I get very small street names and when I zoom in further they are still very small (unreadable). How can I change this? When I right click on properties of the OSM layer I get "Warning, this layer has a dialogue Properties" and I cannot change anything there. Thanks ahead! Gr, E.

By popular internet search engines I found: http://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/92315/how-to-increase-label-size-of-openlayers-plugin-basemap-layers http://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/142359/qgis-zoom-level-with-openstreetmap-data and http://www.3liz.com/blog/rldhont/index.php?post/2012/07/17/OpenStreetMap-Tiles-in-QGIS answered 06 Jan '16, 18:58 stephan75 Thanks, this pointed me in the right direction. I installed the TileMapScale plugin that's in QGis 2.8.5 Wien, activated it in the plugins menu and selected the osm_mapnik.xml, clcked on the + and removed the old OSM layer. Much better!

Hi Erwin, I am having the same issue...the names are too small. I've loaded the plugin in QGIS, but I can't seem to get a different map with larger text to come out. I was hoping you could post a few more instructions. I selected the osm_mapnik.xml layer as you suggested, but I'm not finding a "+" to click on... I have the layer active, removed the old OSM layer, but I don't see the label size changing...any help would be most appreciated.

Please EDIT your question and tell us whether you have OSM as tile graphics as a background layer, or do you have real vector data by getting the elements via QuickOSM plugin and do the rendering by QGIS and its style file?
Thanks. Edited. I don't know about QGis rendering and its style file...
