Description

When zoomed in beyond the level where a boundary shows a centrally-placed label, a label should be drawn along the edges. In the case of adjacent areas, labels should be drawn on either side.

Boundary labels should be drawn for administrative boundaries and protected areas.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Inspect the current label placement logic for boundaries and modify it to draw labels along edges when zoomed in beyond a threshold, using openstreetmap carto as a reference.
