To sum up, mid-scale simplification works well for some geometries, but creates
sharp edges for others.
\subsubsection{Large-scale (1:\numprint{250000})}
As visible in figure~\ref{fig:salvis-wm-250k}, for large-scale map, some of the
resulting bends look significantly exaggerated. Why is that?

A conglomeration of bends is visible, especially in north-east side of the
center. We assume this was caused by two bends significantly exaggerated,
leaving no space to exaggerate for those between the two. For the same reason,
the figure~\ref{fig:salvis-wm-50k} (of scale 1:\numprint{50000}) has many
smaller bends at approximately the same location.

\subsubsection{Discussion}
For mid-size scales of 1:\numprint{50000}, the implemented algorithm works well
for certain geometries, and poorly for others. This test surfaced two areas for
future research and improvement:
\begin{itemize}
\item Exaggeration is sometimes creating sharp edges, especially when the
exaggerated bend is quite small. When sharp edges are created,
exaggeration could interpolate more points in the bend, and exaggerate
using the interpolated points.
\item In larger scales, when bends do not have space to exaggerate, they
should be combined or eliminated instead.
\end{itemize}
