Thanks Oj W,

I'll give it a go. I hope any of the machines I have available at this
moment can handle it =)

I checked first of the stylesheets from:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Stylesheet
and it doesn't have any references to 'admin_level'. Also single reference
to boundary doesn't look like administrative borders.

I think I have enough information about setting up rendering and mostly
need some advise on customizing the stylesheet.
On the first stage I need:

- no country/state borders
- no borders for minor administrative units (provinces etc.)
- no labels with country names

also would really like:

- no emphasis on capital cities
for example by default on zoom level 5 only capital cities seams to get
displayed, I would like to remove them and eventually have them appear
according to their actual population and not political status.

than to balance back with some reference features

+ add emphasis on major rivers, especially on zoom levels ~5

Would really appreciate all clues on making such customizations to map
stylesheet!

BTW http://www.opencyclemap.org has no borders and no special emphasis on
capitals, anyone knows where I can find their stylesheet to compare?

You want to render your own maps from OSM data:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Rendering
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Creating_your_own_tiles

Then you will want to display them on a website:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM_on_your_own_website

[OSM-talk] Making alternative tiles with no administrative borders or administrative names

2010-04-19 Thread elf Pavlik
Hello,

I want to setup a server which will serve alternative tiles to those used
on osm.org

I would like to use in my projects tiles without any administrative
borders or names of administrative units (like states/countries, provinces
etc.)

I welcome any help with information about howto or actuality configuring
rendering of such tiles.

In next stage I would like to work on map tiles putting more emphasis on
natural reference points like rivers, mountain ranges etc.

One of the projects I would like to use such tiles which don't divide
Earth into countries has very early stage (pre-alpha) webpage at:
http://world-peace-game.net

If possible please contact me directly on my email address so I won't miss
the answer within the see of posts on this mailing list =)

Wishing everyone on northern hemisphere great spring and summer,
and relaxing fall and winter on southern,
