Would also be good to see a few suggestions for features. A few of
mine; on the cartography side:
- add contours (I have done this on Freemap so I should be able to
figure out this)
- hill shading (not had any experience of this though I know it has
been done)
- Landranger-style rendering? Any other preferences?
- permissive paths need showing; Andy's cartography does not yet do
this but again this is something I have experience with.
Additional layers would be useful, but can they all be selectable
please. Many implementations of hill shading I've come across have meant
panning slows to a sludge.
On the features side (walking oriented most of mine):
- click on POIs to get information about them, e.g. links to Wikipedia
articles and websites, real ale status for pubs, opening times, values
of the "description" tag, etc
Good idea. It would need to be 'prettified'. Some popups like this are
direct transfers of XML data. The end user probably isn't interested if
what they click on is a node, way or relation or 'key's & 'values'.
- ability to re-tag footpaths (e.g. add PROW ref, description tag) by
clicking on them (users can already authenticate with OSM via OAuth)
Useful for those who wish to do that (I include myself - it's my 'next
thing to do'), but are you wanting to design an editor or map to be used
by people who've probably never heard of OSM. They are two separate
items, I believe.
- link with Mapillary to show photos along a given route?
A nicety, but I've found mapillary to be sluggish.

I like the 'landranger' paths. Are all path barriers rendered? I know in
osm-carto discussions about individual icons has stopped their addition.
Could a 'cover-all' dot, or similar, be used as a stop-gap?
Could 'fields' be reduced in intensity? I found they obscure more
detailed objects.
And could 'white' roads be increased? Maybe a darker edge?
I haven't read through git hub yet (& doubt I understand much), does it
use a fork of osm-carto's code (the 'standard' map)?
