tile age
cartography is the new old black
TileMill....makes great maps
Development Seed& MapBox
Mapnik, Node.js, Backbone.js, express & CodeMirror....
..lets make a map
.roads{ line-color: @nz_roads; line-width: 1.5; }
Style by .class
.roads[type="primary"]{ line-color: @nz_roads; line-width: 1.5;
}
Using a selector
[zoom>10].roads{[type="primary"],[type="secondary"]{
line-color: @nz_roads; line-width: 1.5;} }
Using multiple selectors
.landuse[type="retail"]{ ::outline { line-color: #ffd34f;
line-width:6; } line-color: #000; line-width:2; }
