I recently tried the Style Editor of CloudMade (http://maps.cloudmade.com/editor). While I know how to change the color/ line style/ border of roads/ railways, but I couldn't find a way how to change the icons of specific building like hospitals/ schools/ places of worship.

Basically, I'd like to know how Life is Magic/Life is Crime, as mentioned in their case studies (http://cloudmade.com/case-studies), can change those places with their custom icons. Could it be they actually proccess them from raw data?

Thank You In Advance,

You can't do it by yourself as it is not free of charge. For more information, please write to support@cloudmade.com.

  • I think it answers the question. If the answer is that you can't then that's the way it is. – LapplandsCohan Sep 05 '13 at 15:33

Red Robot Labs (RRL), the developer of Life is Magic and Life is Crime were able to change icons of specific buildings because they contracted CloudMade's cartographers to develop a custom style for them.

Some changes to the map style - like icons - require human oversight and guidance and are not supported by CloudMade's Style Editor tool. The cartography services that CloudMade offers are available to any developer - get in touch with their support team for more details.

RRL did not custom render the maps themselves.
