In the new version of MapOSMatic, it will be possible to choose the rendering style between a predefined set of Mapnik stylesheets. The Mapnik stylesheet defines how all elements in the map are rendered (and even whether they are rendered or not). Initially, we will offer 2 or 3 stylesheets, and we will encourage MapOSMatic users to propose alternative stylesheets that we could add to the official MapOSMatic website. Adjusting individual parameters such as map colors or street colors through a web page is hardly possible: a stylesheet is composed of hundreds, if not thousands of parameters. The Web form would be horribly complicated to implement and to use. We've thought of giving the possibility to users to upload their own stylesheet to MapOSMatic so that they can easily use their own rendering style and experiment with new styles. Unfortunately, a Mapnik stylesheet contains lots of SQL queries to lookup geographic elements in the database, and we've considered that allowing users to upload their own stylesheet would open a big security hole in the MapOSMatic server. Of course, we're open to suggestions in that area!
