[OSM-talk] New Mapnik Style

[Patrick Weber]

Hi

Just noticed that the Wednesday Mapnik update has introduced a 
considerable change in cartography style. Seems like lots of changes 
have been applied, which has considerably changed the look of the Mapnik 
Layer. I wondered if there is a summary of changes explained somewhere, 
and even maybe some of the motivations for those changes?

I really like some of the new POI icons, which seem to be more 
consistent now.

I am not so shure about the rendering of roads (primary,secondary) at 
Zoom layers 10-11-12. Overall, the contrast of map features seems 
reduced to me. While this can be a good thing if you want to overlay 
other layers of information, on its own, I think it makes it less easy 
on the eye in terms of making out features and so on.

Anyone else feels like that?
