For example if I were a shopkeeper here on Stroud Green Road looking to put a map on my website, I’d probably say “Weugh! What am I even looking at? Think I’ll go use google maps” and we wouldn’t even get the chance to wisely say to the shopkeeper “Ah yes but why don’t you learn to edit and fill in more gardens fences yourself, or install mapnik and configure it to not show them”.

The latter part here feels like something that’s more achievable, and doesn’t rely on people mapping “the right things”. Can we make customising views of the map be more usable/discoverable/intuitive? If I’m the shopkeeper and I want a map, can there be an easy way for me to remove all the gardens, fences, irrelevant house numbers?
