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=17&lat=52.50964&lon=13.37659&layers=00B0F0FF0000F0FF00 b/w like mapnik: http://toolserver.org/~osm/styles/?zoom=17&lat=52.50964&lon=13.37659&layers=0000F0FF0000F0FFB0 b/w without icons: http://toolserver.org/~osm/styles/?zoom=17&lat=52.50964&lon=13.37659&layers=0000F0FF0000F0FF0B An example with hillshading and bicycle layers: http://toolserver.org/~osm/styles/?zoom=15&lat=47.6322&lon=13.00511&layers=0000F0FT0000F0TF0B 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
