it hadn't been a couple or three years already, I'd be more
patient. A New Yorker would find it astonishing not to see
the Adirondack Park, which occupies about a sixth of the
land area of the state, but if it were not mistagged
'national park' there would be nothing to trigger its
rendering. The smaller state parks, state forests, and
similar reserves likewise would likewise have no attributes
visible to the renderer.</div>

What exactly are you waiting for? the magic map fairies to read the
tagging list and think "hmm - request for a new rendering of US
Parks, must set some time aside for that" <span

<br>
It'd be nice to be able to customise the tile layers easily on
osm.org, but the only reason that it isn't is that no one has sat
down and written the code yet. However, it is possible to use other
tile layers with a bit of browser trickery:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:SomeoneElse/Your_tiles_from_osm.org">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:SomeoneElse/Your_tiles_from_osm.org</a>
. If you're not in a position to submit changes to osm.org yourself
(and I'm certainly not) you could perhaps try bribing potential
developers with donations, charitable or otherwise :)<br>
<br>
With regard to "what gets rendered at what scale" I'd agree that
there is an issue with the styles on osm.org when showing "outdoor"
features. The cycle map does probably the best job around e.g.
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=13/36.4749/-121.2047">http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=13/36.4749/-121.2047</a> (just to pick
somewhere I'm familiar with and is fairly path-complete) but it's
not ideal. Again, however, the reason why a style suited to outdoor
areas especially in the US hasn't appeared is that no-one has yet
created one.<br>
<br>
However, it's really not _that_ difficult to tweak a version of
OSM's standard map style (or another one) to both display existing
features slightly differently and to display new features.<br>
<br>
<br>
An example of the latter is in a lua script that I use for a local
OSM style here:<br>
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://github.com/SomeoneElseOSM/SomeoneElse-style/blob/master/style.lua#L251">https://github.com/SomeoneElseOSM/SomeoneElse-style/blob/master/style.lua#L251</a><br>
<br>
<br>
An example of "changing the zoom level at which something appears"
is at:<br>
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://github.com/SomeoneElseOSM/openstreetmap-carto-AJT/blob/master/landcover.mss#L474">https://github.com/SomeoneElseOSM/openstreetmap-carto-AJT/blob/master/landcover.mss#L474</a><br>
<br>
<br>
If you can count brackets and change numbers to higher or lower
values, you're mostly there!<br>
<br>
Someone did ask over at the issue list for the standard style "how
do I create a map style"<br>

<br>
whilst the question wasn't really ontopic there, the answer I gave
applies here too I think.<br>
