Hi,
it's been a while. Needed a break. But now I'm back with a new renderer: Mapweaver.
It is based on mapgen.pl but brings new features and is under active development.
Cheers
Gerhard

Where's MapCSS? Yet Another Map Stylesheet Language?

Can you say something about speed? E.g. is it fast enough to render the whole world from the compressed planet.osm file? Or for what areas is it meant?
Comment from Gary68 on 10 August 2011 at 12:42
hm. there is some minimal speed data on the mapgen wiki page. speed heavily depends on pre- and post-processing (osmosis; inkscape) and the number of rules. let's say if you choose your dataset right and have a good computer you should be done in a minute or two. might be faster, might be slower.
Mapweaver loads all data into memory so planets and big countries might not be a good idea. depending on the size of the mapped data and your memory of course.
Mapweaver is for smaller areas and primarily for printable maps. Or let's say maps in one piece - no tiles.
There is always the option of preporcessing the planet with osmosis and then use the data in Mapweaver.

Yes, a bit. But I am not going to pay 50 Bucks to tell people about my work.
