Therefore, if one is using open-source technology to create a large-scale map, downscaled lines (e.g. rivers) will look poorly. This paper explores line generalization algorithms and suggests to implement an algorithm for an avid GIS developer. Once the algorithm is implemented and integrated to open-source GIS solutions (e.g. QGIS), rivers on future large-scale maps will look professionally downscaled. \section{Introduction} \label{sec:introduction} \section{The Problem} \label{sec:the_problem} \section{My Idea} \label{sec:my_idea} \section{The Details} \label{sec:the_details} \section{Related Work} \label{sec:related_work} \section{Conclusions and Further Work} \label{sec:conclusions_and_further_work} \printbibliography \end{document}
