    The way you color these trails is so good! It is clearer and easier to read than other existing maps. Also the information is detailed so that users can have an expectation before going there. I'm just wondering if you plan to expand yours beyond the US eventually?

      Thank you. It's really a simple concept: color them as the colour= tag is in the OSM relation, which matches the signs/markings on the trail.

      There's no reason why it couldn't be used anywhere else. This just makes maps that fit within the bounding box of a relation. The only thing US specific about it is the elevation data, and I'm sure something else could be used to get that elsewhere. Or else it could just be turned off for a given map with show_terrain: false.
