How can I configure OpenStreetMap to use the old Google Maps colours with an emphasis on roads?
I'm currently using some offline cached maps tiles downloaded with MOBAC, and waiting for Google to change their colours back again. Now I realise that it's a place map, and places generate advertising revenue, I think that Google is unlikely to fix that.
Another problem that happened recently in Taiwan was when Google removed pinyin (latin letters) from the street names, leaving only Chinese characters. Foreigners living here couldn't find their way around. I threw together a quick alternative to GMaps, and told people about it - until Google put the pinyin back about a week later.
- microcolonel 9y agoThere is Mapbox, they are a hosted provider which has a pretty straightforward tool for styling the map. I think they also have a starting style which is pretty similar to older Google Maps. I think they also have some level of customization for labels, and if you have a big need to have Pīnyīn I'm sure that something could be done for that.
