Travel modes & path styles¶

A mode picks which network stands out; a path style picks how footways and cycleways look. The two are independent.

Travel modes¶

Every page has every road. The mode decides what comes to the front:

Mode	What stands out	Live
`all` (default)	nothing: every network at its own width, as on a general map	open
`driving`	the roads for cars	open
`walking`	footways, paths, steps, pedestrian streets; the roads for cars thinner and faded	open
`cycling`	cycleways; the roads for cars faded	open

mapstyle monaco.duckdb --mode walking

ms.render_map("monaco.duckdb", mode="walking")

In the walking and cycling modes every road is one centred line (no lanes), so the paths beside it stay readable. On any page, rsSetModes(["walking"]) shows only the roads a mode can use (JavaScript API).

Path styles¶

How walking and cycling paths look, on top of the mode:

Style	Looks like
`google` (default)	Google / Apple Maps: calm, thin, light solid lines
`osm`	openstreetmap.org: thin dotted and dashed paths (live)
`komoot`	outdoor apps: bold solid colours with a white halo, by type (live)
`cyclosm`	the CyclOSM map: solid blue cycleways, thin dark dashed footways

mapstyle monaco.duckdb --mode walking --paths komoot

Both are data: styles/modes.yaml and styles/paths.yaml (Styles).
