Classic Styles¶
Classic, familiar styles that you've probably seen around the web.
OSM Bright¶
Free
Starter
Standard
Professional
The OSM Bright style was developed as a sensible starting point for quickly making beautiful maps based on the OpenStreetMap database. It highlights the content in the map itself. We recommend using OSM bright where you are focused on providing directions, have minimal overlays or other data that might clash with the styling, or want a lot of POIs visible. Note that our outdoors style also works for many of these scenarios, but OSM Bright is a classic alternative.
