@matthias_kraus Definitely! The quality of @mapterhorn is way better!

Have you ever wanted a clean, scalable SVG map? We've developed a SVG map renderer that can also be used as a MapLibre plugin.

Try it out by clicking the button in the top right-hand corner of this page: https://versatiles.org/versatiles-svg-renderer/demo/

Symbols and text are not yet supported, but contributions are welcome!

I've updated our interactive "Server Setup Guide" to help you quickly and easily set up your own map server:
- locally or remote
- on Linux, Mac or Windows
- use map data covering just your city, a region or the whole world
- OpenStreetMap data and/or satellite imagery
- choose one of three frontends

All EU countries are required to publish orthoimagery as open data (INSPIRE Directive).
Austria also provides orthophotos under a CC-BY licence:

Unfortunately, we have encountered issues with their data as their coordinate system is inverted, preventing GDAL from processing it:

Hopefully, we can resolve these issues in the next iteration.

In order to prepare the map and download servers for worldwide satellite and orthoimagery, I need to migrate some of our infrastructure. Unfortunately, this may result in brief outages over the next 1-2 days, but I will try to keep these to a minimum.

Two new experimental updates:
1. The latest map data now includes 11 languages!
2. We have developed a new 'Maplibre VersaTiles Styler' tool to help you create map styles interactively.
You can test both features here: https://tiles.versatiles.org/
