There are a bunch of different renderings of OSM data available. More importantly, you can download the data and render it however you'd like.
Cloudmade's default rendering of New York looks pretty decent: http://maps.cloudmade.com/?lat=40.741014&lng=-74.009399&zoom=9&styleId=1&opened_tab=0 http://maps.cloudmade.com/?lat=40.741014&lng=-74.009399&... but they also let you create your own style (e.g. http://maps.cloudmade.com/?lat=40.741014&lng=-74.009399&zoom=9&styleId=999&opened_tab=0 http://maps.cloudmade.com/?lat=40.741014&lng=-74.009399&...)
Lars Ahlzen uses OSM data to make beautiful maps at http://toposm.com/ http://toposm.com/
...the list goes on.
- ugh 16y agoWow. OSM really is not even close to any of its competitors.
- Frazzydee 16y agoI was especially disappointed after reading rmc's comment that "One of [OpenStreetMap's] statements is 'We make beautiful maps'". It's great that the data is made public, and they play an important role there. But if we're only comparing map styles (as the article did), OSM has a long way to go.
- yellowbkpk 16y agoI completely agree. OSM attracts data nerds, not cartographers.
