[OSM-talk] New: A blackwhite base layer
Hi After lots of discussions about how layered maps could be made more user friendly, here's an easy fix: a desaturated mapnik base layer. For even reduced information, a no icons form of the map is presented. Here is an example set: original mapnik: http://toolserver.org/~osm/styles/?zoom=17lat=52.50964lon=13.37659layers=00B0F0FFF0FF00 b/w like mapnik: http://toolserver.org/~osm/styles/?zoom=17lat=52.50964lon=13.37659layers=F0FFF0FFB0 b/w without icons: http://toolserver.org/~osm/styles/?zoom=17lat=52.50964lon=13.37659layers=F0FFF0FF0B An example with hillshading and bicycle layers: http://toolserver.org/~osm/styles/?zoom=15lat=47.6322lon=13.00511layers=F0FTF0TF0B Tiles are here, please try it with your layers: http://toolserver.org/tiles/bw-mapnik/13/4400/2686.png http://toolserver.org/tiles/bw-noicons/13/4400/2686.png Kind regards, Kay ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
Re: [OSM-talk] New: A blackwhite base layer
Please be patient with the toolserver, most tiles in the bw-mapnik and bw-noicons style are not yet rendered, so there're still a lot 404 error, but this will solve itsself as soon as the maps are in a wider use.

Re: [OSM-talk] New: A blackwhite base layer
Hi Kay, I like the idea of a more subdued style for use as backdrop maps. I think this one still has too much contrast for that purpose. I propose something along the lines of http://maps.cloudmade.com/?lat=52.371826lng=4.928055zoom=12styleId=26171opened_tab=0 May I take this opportunity to plug the Cloudmade style editor - it's an awesome tool for when you want to play around with cartography. It is somewhat limited - I haven't found a way to color the labels differently, for example - but that is its strength as well in a way.
