[OSM-talk] overpass turbo now with MapCSS support

[Martin Raifer]

overpass turbo ("the" graphical user interface for Overpass API) just got  
a nice new feature:
Now, you can use MapCSS to style the results of your Overpass queries.  
[1],[2]

Stylesheets can be attached to your query by using a special curly-bracket  
"mustache" notation:
>  <osm-script>
>    ... your overpass query here ...
>  </osm-script>
>  {{style:
>    ... your mapcss stylesheet here ...
>  }}

MapCSS support is still somewhat limited (no text labels, no casings for  
lines, no layers) but you can already achieve quite pleasant results: Read  
my blog post [1] for more details and some nice examples! You can also try  
one of the examples I linked below [3] directly.

Furthermore, there is also a new "as GPX" export mode and (finally) a  
short-url-service on http://overpass-turbo.eu that makes "share"-links  
much more portable.

Cheers,
Martin
