Hi guys,
There's a recent addition to the map styles/layers available on the main
OSM map and this is the Humanitarian style which was developed by the
Humanitarian OSM Team (HOT). Check it out here:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=9/14.5317/121.0281&layers=H
According to HOT, this map style "focuses on the developing countries with
an emphasis on features related to development and humanitarian work." And
that this style is interesting since it has "good contrasting style in
terms of overall colour choices" and shows "many new/different icons
(particularly for basic amenities in developing countries) and more nuanced
surface tracktype rendering."
As far as I know, there's not so much use of HOT-specific tagging in the
Philippines so this style is not that much useful. Still, it's a welcome
addition to the Standard, Cycle Map, Transport Map, and MapQuest Open
layers.
Eugene
