I am loading OpenStreetMap vector data into ArcMap (using the Download and Symbolize OSM Data tool of ArcGIS Editor for OpenStreetMap 1.1). I'm sure there must be a simple way to apply the style/symbols of the Mapnik baselayer as rendered on the OSM website (example), rather than using the ArcMap defaults or manually adjusting symbology for each feature type, but I just can't figure it out.
Can someone point me to a potential solution?
Answer
I recently found myself in the same situation. After scouring about the web I came across an MXD that is ready to go. You used to be able to find download links at this page http://opengeodata.org/?sort=&search=esri%20uk. The direct link to the MXD at the Esri UK site used to be here http://www.esriuk.com/developerhub/dh_downloads/OSM.zip. It is not the exact same Mapnik rendering but it is very close. Being inland in the US, I removed the Mainland layer and changed the map frame background to a light gray instead of the blue so I could see water features.
See Mapnik style for OSM Data in ArcGIS for an alternative link to an MXD that may be suitable.
