A good suggestion, although your choices are a bit loaded. It's not clear that it's the distributed rendering of the data that makes one more "community" than the other. The data is all community, as are the style sheets more or less. Without getting into a lengthy explanation, all that distinguishes the first two layers is the technology to render them and the cartographic style. The next two layers are for a transport mode and for mappers. So on the simple basis that one technology came before another, and it's all a matter of personal taste, and one style is the default: - Standard map - Classic map - Cycle map - Missing names (I can't help think this would be better as an overlay like maplint) Regards, Tom _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
