Thanks for that! I think Andy was also trying to create an updated map key, but I'm not sure if he's still working on it. He used software he created for that himself: https://github.com/gravitystorm/mapnik-legendary > 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”. You might also be interested in https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/blob/master/README.md and https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/blob/master/CARTOGRAPHY.md .
