Thanks for your comment. Adding flexibility is definitely amongst our future directions for the project. With this version of MapOSMatic, we have added the possibility of choosing between different stylesheets, giving different rendering styles for the map.

In the future, we would like to:

* Extend the number of predefined stylesheets. We wanted to have one that emphasize cycle routes, but unfortunately the stylesheet used on www.cyclemap.org is not freely available.
* Allow users to provide their own customized stylesheet so that they can really customize the style as they want.
* Provide a mechanism to select categories of point of interests, such as restaurants, etc.
