Look at this map from Frankfurt (one of the few German cities with real underground lines): http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=50.10744&lon=8.66401&zoom=16&layers=T and http://öpnvkarte.de/?zoom=16&lat=50.10744&lon=8.66401&layers=TBTTT<http://xn--pnvkarte-m4a.de/?zoom=16&lat=50.10744&lon=8.66401&layers=TBTTT> It would be cool to have this stuff on the main page - I don't really care which map provides it, but the information is IMHO important. > Nobody has ever asked OWG to consider hikebikemap. > OK, what I personally ike about it is that it's a rather light style that works great with hill shading. -Martin
