OpenStreetMap gives developer the selection to alter colors, trouble thicknesses too fifty-fifty alter the fonts used inwards the map labels.
Here are 5 neat examples of OpenStreetMap map styles:
1. Watercolor Map
Stamen's Watercolor Map is rightly ane of the well-nigh pop too good known map styles. I've fifty-fifty seen this ane popping upwards inwards maps developed alongside the Google Maps API, swapping out the Google Map tiles for this beautiful OpenStreetMap. If you lot similar the Watercolor Map agency you lot should likewise convey a await at Oregon State University's Crinkled Watercolor Map.
2. The Comic Sans Map
This ane very shouldn't work. Using the world's well-nigh despised font you lot would intend would brand this map agency a consummate disaster. However the Comic Sans Map is non exclusively a neat illustration of how changing the label font tin convey a huge influence on a map's pattern it very looks neat equally well.
3. The Burning Map Style
Back to Stamen again. I'll acknowledge exterior a fun Burning Man map I can't intend of many cases when you lot would desire to piece of job the Burning Map style. However the Burning Map is a neat illustration of how you lot tin piece of job the latest WebGL applied scientific discipline to interact alongside the underlying OpenStreetMap information to practise genuinely dynamic maps.
4. Red Alert
Cloudmade's Map Style Editor has a huge let out of illustration map styles created alongside the editor. There are hundreds of styles to direct from here. I went for this Red Alert agency exactly you lot tin browse through the user submitted styles yourself (under Change Style) to notice your ain favorite styles.
5. MapBox Streets
MapBox Streets is likely the well-nigh ubiquitous OpenStreetMap agency (for illustration it's used yesteryear foursquare). The map itself was built to endure customized too users tin alter the map colors, exhibit too cover features, too fifty-fifty configure the labeling language.
