The style I mentioned below was made by turning the buildings off using the
CloudMade Style Editor, which is a lot easier and significantly faster than
changing a stylesheet and setting up a tile server. I have used Web Maps Lite

While OSM is extremely powerful and present us with limitless
posibilities, I very much doubt that every user would set up an own

While the map "quaility" may have some weight as to why people use
Google (or Bing for that matter) I suspect the bigger problem is the
User Interface.

searching the maps is hmm well complicated.
Part of the problem stems from ther
