From what I've seen it looks quite good, but I don't think it's an option for the cycle map I'm going to explore. It says on the wiki that it doesn't support rendering from a db, and since I'm rendering more than 500,000 tiles each update the performance of mapnik is crucial (I wouldn't be able to do what I do using osmarender, for example, or without the spatial indexing of postGIS) > I started developing it exactly for > the reasons you mention, since I wanted to do so some rendering of > hiking routes with my own tags, which weren't rendered in Mapnik or [EMAIL > PROTECTED] > Next versions of Kosmos will have support for relations, so I think it > should be possible to render cycling ways. Okey, it's still out of your > control ;) There's plenty of things that I render with mapnik that aren't on the main map (see http://www.gravitystorm.co.uk/osm/ ), and we can handle all kinds of complex things like semitransparent line-strokes. And in fact, two of the big three problems getting in my way have been solved today (one upstream and one locally)! I hope the contours that Kosmos has will re-energise everyone to get SRTM data into the main mapnik layer (in a highly-scalable fashion).
