I have created a wiki page about the Standard layer found on www.openstreetmap.org
Here it is: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Standard_tile_layer This wiki page is still a big work in progress. Here are two goals of this wiki page: 1) Concentrate on user's view, not mapper's view 2) Give a brief description of the Standard layer and other information of intererest. 3) Document all the map colors, symbols and lines. Also known as “key”. I know that the homepage has already a key, but it is very incomplete and outdated, most symbols (“points of interest”) are not explained at all. Does anyone want to help with this effort? There are the following challenges: - I want to have the pure, unaltered icons in their original size. Many icons I found in the wiki are pretty outdated. - If possible, the icons should be stored as uniform as possible in the wiki. It looks ugly if all the icons are displayed in different sizes - Documenting all the non-obvious stuff about the layer, such as that private access things are drawn semi-transparent, etc. - Keeping this whole thing up to date You can help by: - Extending the key - Give advice if you know more about the inner workings of the Standard layer - Uploading missing icons into the wiki - Updating outdated icons in the wiki - Adding more general information about this layer -- Wuzzy XMPP: [email protected] E-Mail: [email protected] _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
