Purdy maps

Yes, it's trumpet-blowing but I like how they're coming out :)

This stylesheet is going to use UK road colour standards, bring in some highway navigation points (lights, crossings, roundabouts), pick up some extra POI (bike shops, convenience stores) and especially, it should have cafés and pubs on a wider zoom for targetting en velo.  Need to work out how to blaze some routes where they have NCN, etc references.

Lovingly hand-blown icon, that "i" - pixelwise icon scrimshaw, which is preposterously retro but when you've about 16x16 to play with, you just can't scale it. 

Scarily addictive, this - like discovering desktop publishing and going mad with the fonts, it's an effort to keep restrained.  No magenta skulls for graveyards!

Now, does anyone know how to change the base colours?
