Red Cross Mapping Style
# Styles Needed
After some reflection, I think we need multiple base map styles. We have a number of different audiences and one map can't possibly make all of them happy.
Our needs are such:
1. A "navigation" style that emphasizes landmarks, natural features, terrain, businesses and other features that are core to our business operations.
2. A "thematic" style that accomodates well multiple thematic layers. Should include terrain.
3. A "communications" basemap that we can use for external-facing products.
3. A flat, terrain-less dark style that we can use to change things up.
I've roughly ordered these in terms of priority, as I see them.
