Onko täällä ketään joka osaisi auttaa avoimen traficomin raakakarttadatan muuttamisessa OpenCPN vektoriformaattiin? Tarvitsisin Päijänne-Keitele vesistön merikartat. Niitä ei kai saa kaupallisesti sopivassa formaatissa mitenkään. #opencpn #päijänne #keitele #vectormaps #navigation #boat #boating

Tarvitsisin Päijänne-Keitele vesistön merikartat. Niitä ei kai saa kaupallisesti sopivassa formaatissa mitenkään. Edes OpenSeaMap.bitmap-karttoja ei Päijänteelle saa.

Q on OpenCPN. How do I get boat navigation vector maps for Päijänne-Keitele? Heard one could download from Traficom the raw data and then somehow convert it to OpenCPN format? Anyone here with experience? Or even ready-made stuff? #opencpn #päijänne #keitele #vectormaps #navigation #boat #boating

The #VectorMaps branch of @openrailwaymap has started double-tracking #OpenStreetMap and #OpenHistoricalMap data. Finally – appreciate #AbandonedRailways in the proper setting!

OpenRailwayMap adds OpenHistoricalMap

The next generation of OpenRailwayMap now sources its historical railway data from OpenHistoricalMap. ORM’s Infrastructure layer sports a new date filter. When you set it to any year in the past, the layer switches from OpenStreetMap data to OHM data. Hover over any rail line to highlight it. Click on it to see basic details such as the name and dates of significance or an option to edit the map. For example, ORM now features the former Hauptbahnhof Karlsruhe, which was decomissioned over a cent...

Safe Cycling Map

A map of safe cycling infrastructure. Uses OpenStreetMap data.

Jake Coppinger Jan 28, 2023

More progress on https://safecyclingmap.com!

- Streets now are categorised as safe, less safe and dangerous (green/orange/red) when too zoomed out too see the individual lanes
- Added a map key explaining how these ratings are assigned (separated infra? speed limit <30kph? living street?)
- Added a safety disclaimer
- Removed Mapbox directions as they could be improved for cycling

PRs and feedback very welcome!

Safe Cycling Map

A map of safe cycling infrastructure. Uses OpenStreetMap data.

Jake Coppinger Jan 17, 2023

A side project I've been tinkering on lately - a proof of concept map rendering streets down to the individual lanes, to assist cyclists picking safe routes and support advocacy for reallocating road space for more efficient modes (as supported by the TfNSW Future Transport Strategy).

I wrote the initial vector tileserver from scratch in one afternoon in Typescript, calling the JS bindings for the Rust osm2streets code compiled to wasm. It generates GeoJSON which is then returned by Koa as a protobuf.

The TfNSW Future Transport Strategy states "We will focus on getting more out of our existing investments, by reallocating road space to more efficient modes of transport like buses, walking, cycling and micromobility devices."

Lane-accurate street maps with OpenStreetMap – writing a vector tileserver for osm2streets - Jake Coppinger

I've built safecyclingmap.com, an open-source proof of concept map that renders cycleways and streets down to the individual lanes, to assist cyclists picking safe routes in cities with little dedicated cycling infrastructure.
