[OSM-talk] New: A black&white base layer

[Kay Drangmeister]

Hi

After lots of discussions about how layered maps could be made more user
friendly, here's an easy fix: a desaturated mapnik base layer. For even
reduced information, a "no icons" form of the map is presented.

Here is an example set:

original mapnik:
http://toolserver.org/~osm/styles/?zoom=17&lat=52.50964&lon=13.37659&layers=00B0F0FF0000F0FF00

b/w like mapnik:
http://toolserver.org/~osm/styles/?zoom=17&lat=52.50964&lon=13.37659&layers=0000F0FF0000F0FFB0

b/w without icons:
http://toolserver.org/~osm/styles/?zoom=17&lat=52.50964&lon=13.37659&layers=0000F0FF0000F0FF0B


An example with hillshading and bicycle layers:
http://toolserver.org/~osm/styles/?zoom=15&lat=47.6322&lon=13.00511&layers=0000F0FT0000F0TF0B


Tiles are here, please try it with your layers:
