This page describes a historic artifact in the history of OpenStreetMap. It does not reflect the current situation, but instead documents the historical concepts, issues, or ideas.
- About
- This page contains the standard set of rendering rules for Kosmos 2.x
- Impact on OpenStreetMap
- Kosmos was a popular rendering software, these information was the foundation of many other map styles.
- Reason for being historic
- Kosmos was superseded by Maperitive. It is no longer possible to download Kosmos. Nobody is actively using these rendering rules. The idea of hosting rendering rules on the wiki, and the format used, may be of vague historical interest.
- Captured time

This page contains a set of Kosmos rendering rules for a general purpose map. These rules do not cover the whole range of OSM tagging currently in use, so you are free to edit these rules and add new ones if you feel something is missing. However a couple of things should be noted:
- See Kosmos Rendering Help for help on how to write rendering rules.
- Before committing changes to the page, please make sure the rules are actually working. Try them with the latest version of Kosmos (2.00 or above), since they are not compatible with previous versions.
- These rules are intended for a general-purpose map, so if you want to create specialized maps, the preferred way is to create a new rules page (see Category:Kosmos_rules).
