In overpass turbo, those stylesheets can be attached to a query by using a special curly-bracket “mustache” notation:

<osm-script>
  ... your overpass query here ...
</osm-script>
{{style:
  ... your mapcss stylesheet here ...
}}

MapCSS support is still somewhat limited (no text labels, no casings for lines, no layers - more information) but you can already achieve quite pleasant results: See (and try) the examples below.

Supported styling-properties include:

  • lines: color, width, opacity and dash-arrays
  • areas: fill-color, fill-opacity and casings
  • points: icons or symbols (circle)
