Landcover 
Buffer: 0, Zoom level: 0 ~ 14
Describes the primary use of the land by humans or the physical material at the surface of the earth. It’s the landcover together with landuse in OpenStreetMap. Besides the data from OpenStreetMap, Natural Earth,OpenAddresses and some data collected by ThinkGeo are other data sources. The polygons are sorted by the area of the geometry to make sure we don't show small polygons at some zoom levels.
