I count myself in this group since a couple of years ago I was also unhappy with the default OSM style and osm-carto specification of it so created my own Mapnik stylesheet generator. I stopped maintaining the stylesheet just over a year ago since trying to keep up with osm-carto was too difficult but I do keep generating tiles from it every week. To see a comparison of my tiles and the standard OSM ones I created this web-page: http://www.gedanken.org.uk/mapping/custom-maps/comparison.html My description of the stylesheet generator is here with links to the source code download: http://www.gedanken.org.uk/mapping/custom-maps/ The Mapnik stylesheet is generated by some Perl scripts based on some TAB separated text files which I manage in a simple spreadsheet. The SQL statements, Mapnik Layers and Styles are all auto-generated and are arranged in a very different way from the standard osm-carto styles. Of particular interest to a UK map is my choice to draw RoW markings over highway markings. For example a designated right of way on a private road is marked as a footpath and as a private road. -- Andrew. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Andrew M.
