Announcing MapBox Streets: A Global Map with Street Level Detail 14 years ago

Yes. You can preview a desaturated version to be released soon here: http://mapbox.com/tour/#maps (click on MapBox Light). You can render your own layers for things like POIs and transit stations using TileMill, and we'll be adding those in as separate layers soon too.
