Thanks Oj W, I'll give it a go. I hope any of the machines I have available at this moment can handle it =) > (3) Remove any references to boundary and admin_level in the osm.xml > stylesheet I checked first of the stylesheets from: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Stylesheet and it doesn't have any references to 'admin_level'. Also single reference to boundary doesn't look like administrative borders. I think I have enough information about setting up rendering and mostly need some advise on customizing the stylesheet. On the first stage I need: - no country/state borders - no borders for minor administrative units (provinces etc.) - no labels with country names also would really like: - no emphasis on capital cities for example by default on zoom level 5 only capital cities seams to get displayed, I would like to remove them and eventually have them appear according to their actual population and not political status. than to balance back with some reference features + add emphasis on major rivers, especially on zoom levels ~5 Would really appreciate all clues on making such customizations to map stylesheet! BTW http://www.opencyclemap.org has no borders and no special emphasis on capitals, anyone knows where I can find their stylesheet to compare? _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
