There's already the OSM cycle map which has a lot of the same features, though with a slightly different focus. I guess one advantage of something like toposm is that it can use higher-resolution data from sources like USGS, and uses US conventions for things like units, symbols and other cartographic details.<br></blockquote><div><br><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif;display:inline">Yes and yes<br></div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
