Right on.  I need a compelling rendering.  If I could get that, I could
use OSM as the official soccer club map because it would be both a nice
map when zoomed out (hopefully one day we can get a "hybrid" with
OpenAerialMap for a really kick ass map) and a detailed plan.  I was
thinking yesterday of adding all sorts of other things like the location
of seats if any with maybe an estimated seating capacity etc.  All of
this information is absent in the "other" maps and could be rendered,
maybe using specific themes to avoid clutter.

Thanx for tossing ideas around.
