The excellent JOSM-Editor offers the possibility to change the way how the map in the editor looks. Apart from line styles and polygons POI icons form a major part of the default style.

I have created a style for JOSM that substitutes default POI icons with icons from Osmic. Here is an example:

Have a look at the project repository: https://github.com/gmgeo/osmic-josm-style

The style uses most of the 149 currently available icons from Osmic and re-uses the colour scheme used by osm.org’s default style openstreetmap-carto. What I’m trying to achieve is more visual consistency between the individual POI icons.

I’m also trying to increase familiarity between JOSM’s style and OSM’s default map style, which might be helpful when editing. Since openstreetmap-carto also uses many of Osmic’s icons making the connection between POI features on the slippy map and in the editor should be easier.

The style is easily enabled from within JOSM by following this guide. The name of the style is Osmic. Please note that this style only substitutes POI icons and you will still need to have the JOSM default map style (or any other) enabled.

Your feedback is welcome.
