I create a map style designed among other things for
England-and-Wales not-very-mountainous outdoor use. You're welcome
to use or copy and modify that.<br>

<div>Is there a published carto style available that will show
these sort of things available that I could use as a basis for
this, rather than start from scratch? (maybe <a
moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://free-map.org.uk">free-map.org.uk</a>,
but I'm not sure if that shows field boundaries etc?) <br>

Here's what it looks like<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://map.atownsend.org.uk/maps/map/map.html#zoom=16&lat=53.08519&lon=-1.71258">https://map.atownsend.org.uk/maps/map/map.html#zoom=16&lat=53.08519&lon=-1.71258</a><br>
<br>
There are two bits to the style - a lua tag transform:<br>

<br>
and the map style itself:<br>

(you probably won't need to bother with all of that - things like
"Updating your database as people edit OpenStreetMap" won't be
needed I guess)<br>

<div>Last time I did this sort of thing I used a simple python
script called generate_image.py - is that still the best thing
to use or has something else taken its place?</div>
</div>

<br>
That should still work - from memory one thing you'll have to watch
out for is that if there are references to fonts in the carto style
that you don't have installed it'll complain, and you'll need to
edit some style references out of the carto style.<br>
