Re: [OSM-talk] Glittermap

I always forget the name of this wiki page, I think it is badly named as
they are not services but a list of map styles/viewers. But it is the
appropriate page you seek.
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/List_of_OSM_based_Services#Art

Ivan
Sanchez created a glitter map, which I shall add to the list
http://ivan.sanchezortega.es/glittermap/

Of course there are the various Cloudmade styles which include 'Midnight
Commander', some pink styles, and possibly a candy style.

[OSM-talk] Glittermap (was: A black&white base layer)

Hi Iván et al,

Iván Sánchez Ortega wrote:

Everyone knows that user-friendlyness can only be achieved by overuse of Comic
Sans and, if that's not available, then rainbows, unicorns, sparkles and
glitter. Lots of glitter.

In the name of all that is cheerful and full of colour, I curse you,
desaturation! Come to me, gods of colour, and save the day!!


While I see your point, I must strongly object, Sir. Your imaginative
maps may present some information to one part of the audience, but
I'd miss "crawling ants" on oneway roads to present information more
densely.

In order to settle our dispute, I suggest our two great styles to
be merged, and toggled in a frequency of 1.5 Hz. This should make
everyone happy.
