opentopomap's Introduction

OpenTopoMap

OpenTopoMap is a topographic map out of data from OpenStreetMap and SRTM. If you are interested in building your own OpenTopoMap, see the beginner's guides for a tile server and for Garmin files.

Mapnik

The main OpenTopoMap is a online rendered raster map. It can be used with the web interface on https://opentopomap.org, which gives you nice features like a search function or loading your gpx tracks. Futhermore, OpenTopoMap can be included into other applications. See https://opentopomap.org/about#verwendung for information on usage. The license of the online map is CC-BY-SA.

The online renderer is based on Mapnik. All necessary files are available to build your own OpenTopoMap server.

Garmin

Since summer 2014 there is a Garmin edition of the OpenTopoMap. They can be downloaded from http://garmin.opentopomap.org. The license of the Garmin maps is CC-BY-NC-SA and therefore reselling is not allowed. Here are some screenshots:

opentopomap's Issues

Add text-natural-lines to 2.0

I must have forgotten them when recreating the style from scratch.

Switch to SVG icons

SVG-ifying icons helps with e.g. rendering high-resolution tiles.

Names color collides with buildings color

Names (city, peak, road numbers, suburbs, castles...) are rendered black, but in a city, where we have many buildings rendered dark grey/black, the names are hard to read. Names have the halo around the letters, but it's still not enough. I propose to use different color for names, like maybe brown.

Garmin: Equalize style with mapnik style

Currently, the online version and the Garmin version differ in rendering line types. For example a highway=track & tracktype=grade4 isn't a dashed line on a Garmin but a solid line.

Support max zoom level higher than 16

By using the map made available on http://opentopomap.org/ and using the tiles in my own project, I noticed that the max tile level is at the moment level 16.

The other tile sources I am using are generating tiles up to level 18, but opentopomap is just generating blue map tiles (like this one http://tile.opentopomap.org/18/140753/87758.png).
So what I wanted to ask, is if it is possible to extend the zoom level to level 18 or at least give out an error (404 maybe) if the zoom level my browser is asking for, is not available so I can handle this error adequately.

Garmin Edition: Camping missing

The POI for camping sites has to be 0x2b05 instead of 0x2b03. Then the search on Garmin Etrex 20 will work.

Garmin Lonvia Wanderrouten support

Hello, are you planning support Lonvia Wanderrouten in Garmin maps? Maybe in separate transparent layer/map like contours?

Garmin: overlapping landuses

Overlapping landuse polygons are a often made mistake in OpenStreetMap. Should we deal with it or should we try to change osm?

Add output for place=hamlet|village|locality|city|etc+name and for allotments+name on resolution 2 km, 1km

Subject

aerialway (like cable cars etc.) in garmin edition

Is there any way we can have aerial ways (like cable cars in the mountains) visualized on the Garmin' devices?
They look so nice in the online map but are completely missing in the Garmin compilations.

BTW: Great work!

Garmin: MapInstall fails to install downloaded map from Spain

I downloaded http://garmin.opentopomap.org/data/spain/OpenTopoMap-Spain.exe. After installation, I can use the map in BaseCamp. However, whenever I try to send the map to de Garmin Etrex Legend HCx by using MapInstall, it fails.

MapInstall begin to build the map that is going to be sent to the garmin device and before begin the transmission the build process fails and MapInstall shows me a "Data were not sent right" message.

Any idea?

Garmin Edition: Add power=minor_line

Add power=minor_line to OTM GE

Suggestion add natural=saddle

As all topographic map it could be interesting to see the mountain passes.

Area style for parks

Parks could be rendered with a light green area fill, or something similar to landuse=grass areas.

See area from opentopomap.org http://opentopomap.org/#map=15/52.38168/9.71359
and from openstreetmap.org http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=15/52.38168/9.71359 .

Parks are a significant feature that are valuable to orientation on a map.

Garmin: remove railway=razed

Don't show rails that don't exist anymore.

Garmin Edition: Wrong map IDs

I still mix up map id, family id and that stuff. Let's go try and error. (Documentation says nothing about the meaning, only about the existence of those parameters)

The Garmin Edition was thrown online quite rashly. I just wanted to have a OpenTopoMap on my Garmin for my summer trip and perhaps someone finds the map usefull, too.

HOWTO_Server clarification

In the file, HOWTO_Server, the paths to flat-nodes are different. Should they be the same?

Load data into database

screen osm2pgsql --slim -d gis -C 12000 --number-processes 10 --flat-nodes /mnt/db/flat-nodes/gis-flat-nodes.bin --style ~/OpenTopoMap/mapnik/osm2pgsql/opentopomap.style ~/data/planet-latest.osm.pbf

Update data

osm2pgsql --append --slim -d gis -C 12000 --number-processes 10 --flat-nodes ~/data/flat-nodes.bin --style ~/OpenTopoMap/mapnik/osm2pgsql/opentopomap.style ~/data/updates/changes.osc.gz

Thanks,

Garmin Edition: Internationalization

For now, the TYP file only contains German expressions. Let's start internationalization by adding more Strings than 0x02.

Garmin Edition: Labels of places

Places like villages, towns and cities need to be shown on lower zoom levels and have different text sizes.

Garmin Edition: Contour lines on low zoom levels

On low zoom levels the contour lines should vanish. Now they overlap the whole map.

how to merge OpenStreetMap & SRTM-Höhendaten

for older garmin gpsmap60csx

ideally could YOU do it?

Rendering of railway=light_rail

It seems that railway=light_rail (https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:railway%3Dlight_rail) isn't rendered at all. The rendering could be the same as for railway=narrow_gauge.

Thank you for the great style! 😄

Garmin: add outdoor interesting POIs

In correspondence by email with our users we receive alot of useful issues.

amenity=kneipp_water_cure
amenity=ice_cream

add highway=turning_circle

adaptive contours distance

Hi,

I really like the OpenTopoMap style for OpenStreetMap data. However, I recently came across TopoMapCreator (http://sourceforge.net/p/topomapcreator/wiki/Home/), which uses OpenTopoMap's style as its main style for creating image based topographic maps.

Looking at a few of the examples, and comparing them with the OpenTopoMap map rendering, it strikes me TopoMapCreator has a better balance and overall look of contours and hillshading. The contours are slightly less saturated red / brown, also set a bit less dense, and the hillshading is more subdued, and thus more pleasing. Additionally, the halos of the labels of the contours in OpenTopoMap don't seem to work well on darker hillshaded areas, the text becomes illegible.

Of course, the TopoMapCreator results aren't entirely comparable, as they use a different colouring for e.g. the forests, but it still is very similar.

I know this is a real balancing act, which isn't easy for this type of data and combined contour & hillshading, but overall I think TopoMapCreator's rendering wins out here. Maybe an idea for OpenTopoMap to tune some of these settings?

See the attached images:

TopoMapCreator:

Add some natural areas

natural=bare_rock and natural=heath (could be the same as natural=scrub)

Please add train station naming

OpenTopoMap render engine shows stations but not station names.

Garmin: water polygons starting on lower zoom levels

The water polygons should be drawn also on lower zoom levels.

Garmin: tunnel rendering

Tunnels should be rendered somehow, but without losing the routing capability.

UTM Grid option

Is it possible to include a UTM or Lat/long Grid option on topo maps?

Garmin: color of rivers

Currently, the color of rivers, streams etc. is too dark and can be confused with tracks. Change to a slightly brighter blue!

embankments & cuttings

embankment=yes and cutting=yes for all types of highway=*

Garmin: contours lines under 100 m disappear

For my memory:

"I noticed that from a certain zoom level, there is only 1 line every 20 meters. The reason is, I suppose, not to overload the map with too much detail : this is OK.

But I also noticed that in this case, contour lines below 100 meters (20m, 60m and 80m) are not displayed."

Garmin Edition: More flexibel download selection

The area around the border has to be broader in order to not suddenly stand in the mist.

Idea: Split and build whole Europe and compile countries out of these tiles.

Update mkgmap

New mkgmap versions produce 5-10% smaller maps:
http://www.mkgmap.org.uk/pipermail/mkgmap-dev/2016q3/025012.html
Would be nice to take advantage of it, it saves bandwith on the servers too

icons/textures reuse

it's possible to reuse your icons/textures for purpose of my own project?

if it's possible, under which license?

Garmin: labels of water polygons

Labels of water polygons are often rendered much too early, even for very small lakes. OpenFietsMap has a clever trick:
http://mijndev.openstreetmap.nl/~ligfietser/openfietsmap/Scripts/Styles/polygons

Suggestion: show road surface

Your map style looks like it would be feasible to show paved/unpaved roads without causing too much problems. Something similar to how tunnels are currently rendered, but without the faded colour might work. Similar to how this is done on old school Michelin style road maps, sometimes used for roads under construction. Especially when zoomed out this is a useful feature no other map has. Great test data is available in Argentina and Chile.

Garmin: delete names of power lines

The name (mostly the directions) of a power line isn't very important, but is shown on the Garmin too prominently. Delete it and everything is fine.

Garmin: contour lines

The 50 meter contour lines on a lower zoom level (?) should be removed to have equidistant contour lines. It would be perfect to have distances of 100m, 50m, 25m and 10m.
The problem are the 25m, since our raw data is generated with a distance of 10m. So we use 20m, where the 50m disturb.

Garmin Edition: wrong line direction on Garmin device

Right now, natural=cliff is rendered in the wrong direction on the Garmin device, whereas it is shown correctly in QLandkarteGT.

Worldwide style vs. euro-centric or christianity-based symbology

I'm not sure if this style is designed for worldwide rendering. But if it is the Christianity-based symbology (e.g. crosses for grave yards and places of worship) might not be suitable for worldwide use. These are often sensitive areas and I think the symbology needs to be expanded to other religions or being neutral.

It would be good to be explicit about the license here on GitHub to avoid hassle and confusion (cf. current discussion Mapbox vs. OSM2VectorTiles).
