Experiments with an airport style

Posted by PlaneMad on 23 November 2016 in English. Last updated on 27 February 2019.

Some late night weekend experiments resulted in this Airport map style.

Runway and taxiway lights

Terminal buildings

Airport boundaries

My laptop seems to heat up a bit trying to render it, but its great to see the detailed results of all the intricate work of the mappers (hooray runway and taxiway areas!). If you update your airport on OSM, you should see the result on the map in a few minutes. My previous experiment with adding runway lights to maps looked like this

PS: Feel free to build on top of the style, you can download this style.json and upload it into Mapbox Studio for a live map.

Your style sheet is returning an invalid token.

Glassman, updated the link, should work now. I’ll need to check if these tokens keep changing by itself. Thanks for reporting.
