How to show the transport layer using leaflet

[Gareth Newman]

Hey All,

I want my map to be shown like this:-

http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=15/53.5986/-2.1746&layers=T

Using the transport layer so the roads and rail links really stand out, can this be achieved using leaflet as I can't find the option to display this type of map?

Thanks,

[Rowan Winsemius]

Hi Gareth,

Open Street Map provide a range of tile servers of differently styled maps, any of which leaflet can consume, its just a matter of working out the right url.

I believe that example is the transport map so you'd use it something like

L.tileLayer('http://a.tile2.opencyclemap.org/transport/$%7Bz%7D/$%7Bx%7D/$%7By%7D.png').addTo(map);

Hope that helps.

Cheers

Thanks rowan, this open map stuff is amazing. It looks like some cnversion took place when you copied the url but it worked perfectly after tweaking it:-

L.tileLayer('http://{s}.tile2.opencyclemap.org/transport/{z}/{x}/{y}.png').addTo(map);
