While I am guilty of some of the same reflexes (see https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/issues/110 ), I don't know how we could expect OSM-carto to reflect all our needs. Apart from being a tool for mappers (i.e. showing as much as possible), it also wants to be pretty and useful for non-mappers. Trying to make everyone happy might make everyone unhappy in the end.
If you want to make people who need paths happy, just send them to waymarkedtrails.org or to opentopomap.org . And if that doesn't make you happy, use overpass-turbo (e.g. http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/bCm) to highlight the features you need. And show them in a pretty map with umap (see http://www.mappa-mercia.org/2014/09/creating-an-always-up-to-date-map.html for instructions). (Yes, the performance of umap/overpass combo isn't great, that could really use some improvement. And yes, it would be nice if osm.org was more of a portal for all of us special needs people) 2015-09-23 11:42 GMT+02:00 moltonel 3x Combo <molto...@gmail.com>: > On 23/09/2015, henk van der laan <h...@mijneigen.net> wrote: > > Now I'm really getting confused. osm-carto is the current version and > > gsoc the new one, right? > > There's been a tremendous amount of discussion, feedback, a tweaks > about this change: > * https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/pull/1736 > * http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/Mateusz Konieczny/diary > * various calls for participation on this mailing list. > > OSM, and osm-carto in particular are developed in the open.
