As you're in the UK, it might be useful to mention that I've thought about adding some sort of support for embankments (in the first instance flood banks) to this map. What would need to happen is essentially this:
If you want to do this, feel free - you can clone both parts of the map style used and tinker to your heart's content - and if you would like any help with these steps, please ask! answered 21 Jun '17, 09:37 SomeoneElse ♦ |
The short answer: because nobody has done the necessary work. The long answer: the standard OSM map style is a complicated beast and the volunteers working on it only have a limited amount of time and they spend that on what they consider important (so part of the answer is that the current maintainers do not consider adding such rendering a high priority item). You can naturally always volunteer your time for an implementation. In the specific case there is an open issue https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/issues/791 which is however quite old. answered 20 Jun '17, 21:15 SimonPoole ♦ |
