Hi all,
while we are at deploying/upgrading those styles: I did an upgrade for bw-mapnik and bw-noicons, they now both derive from the latest osm-mapnik style.
However, I think that bw-mapnik, i.e. the style that's a 1:1 copy of osm-mapnik, may not be needed. This is because the maps I am thinking of can better use bw-noicons, the osm-mapnik style without many icons (e.g. shop icons).
What's your opinion, I think we can save quite some space/render time on ptolemy if we remove bw-mapnik in favour of bw-noicons. To ease migration it may be useful to just deliver bw-noicons tiles in case someone requests a bw-mapnik tile.
Kind regards, Kay
I'm currently talking to my boss about open-sourcing the background-style used at
http://karriere.thyssenkrupp.com/jobmap/
It has been designed to be used as background-layer for overlays in the range between z0 and z14 with only very basic information.
It could be used to replace mapnik-bw, which suffers in some points like contrast in favour of details.
