One option might be to tweak the styles used for http://toposm.com/ to better highlight and render hiking trails and paths. It's probably a good base map for hiking, and we're working on complete US coverage. Since, in TopOSM, the base topography and the map features are on different tile layers, it would even be possible to use the existing topography and contour lines, and make a custom layer that highlights hiking trails, paths, obstacles etc. - Lars -- Lars Ahlzen l...@ahlzen.com _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
