Description of the cartographic styles
There are four pre-made styles available for Zoomstack. These can be downloaded from GitHub, and instructions for applying them are available in the associated Getting Started Guide. This section contains a brief overview of the four available styles to help you choose.
Road
This style focuses on transport networks, specifically highlighting the Great British road network. High in contrast with lots of detail and colour, this style will fit many uses and satisfy those who are familiar with traditional OS maps.
Outdoor
Designed for outdoor leisure and used within our OS Maps desktop and mobile application. Borrowing certain design elements from our traditional paper maps this style focuses on terrain and land cover, has a minimal colour palette and contains familiar symbology.
Light
Designed specifically for data visualisation, this style has a subtle palette and is simple and clear. Use it to add geographic context and make your own data shine.
Night
Night mode mapping that is designed for dark environments. This style is at its best on a mobile device where dark pixels can help save battery power and make the screen easier to use in low lighting conditions.
