Re: [Talk-GB] Monochrome map layers

[Martin Wynne]

the standard Carto layer is costly to print in colour and doesn't work
very well when printed in black and white as it uses a lot of subtle
colour for detail.


Hi Mark,

The standard Transport map prints quite well in monochrome, and the 
street names are nicely prominent:

I've used it in the past for the same purpose - election canvassing. :)

cheers,

Martin.

[Talk-GB] Monochrome map layers

[Mark Goodge]

Does anyone know of a map layer/tile set that is completely
monochrome? I want to create some maps specifically for printing, but
the standard Carto layer is costly to print in colour and doesn't work
very well when printed in black and white as it uses a lot of subtle
colour for detail.

Specifically, what I want them for is to print off maps of local
neighbourhoods and villages for use when delivering leaflets (yes,
this is general election related!), so that people can easily see
where they need to go and mark off, using a highlighter, the streets
they have done.

Any suggestions?

Mark

Re: [Talk-GB] Rights of way layer - raster and vector tiles

[Nick Whitelegg]

Hello Rob,

Glad you're finding MTP useful!

Incidentally the way-split functionality has been on the MapThePaths 'todo' 
list for quite some time. I will try and get round to it as soon as I can - 
probably the Christmas break now.

Subject: [Talk-GB] Rights of way layer - raster and vector tiles

Hi all,

Have been enjoying using Nick's MapThePaths.org.uk 
website recently. In most cases I can make the edit to OSM using the built in 
editing functionality. However from time to time there is a need to fire up 
JOSM or iD editor in order to split an OSM way. In doing so I was looking for a 
ProW layer to add to the editor to guide my edits.

Using Mapbox Studio I have created such a layer.

Raster tiles
In JOSM add it using:

wmts:https://api.mapbox.com/styles/v1/robjn/ck2nvvl8u06p91cqrlcvmzcsd/wmts?access_token=pk.eyJ1Ijoicm9iam4iLCJhIjoid0dYNkY1QSJ9.A-0lzQOawGYICYPfURsjDA

And in iD Editor add it using:

https://api.mapbox.com/styles/v1/robjn/ck2nvvl8u06p91cqrlcvmzcsd/tiles/256/{zoom}/{x}/{y}?access_token=pk.eyJ1Ijoicm9iam4iLCJhIjoid0dYNkY1QSJ9.A-0lzQOawGYICYPfURsjDA

A few things to note:

Firstly, all Rights of Way data is currently shown. I was hoping to filter out 
the data which is not universally accepted as compatible with OSM within Mapbox 
Studio but it seems like you cannot use wildcards in the expressions there. If 
there is interest in this layer, I will reload the data in to Mapbox Studio so 
that I can apply styling (e.g. fade/blur) to the data that is not OSM 
compatible (it can be used as a prompt for a ground survey).

Footpaths are pink, bridleways are green, restricted byways - orange/brown, 
BOATS - blue.

The text label is || as is stored in 
the KML files on rowmaps.org. Use the Local Authority Code 
to confirm against Robert Whittaker's site 
(https://osm.mathmos.net/prow/progress/) that you are editing one of the OSM 
compatible areas.

In iD Editor the text label does not show up as it is black on a black 
background. It is also not possible to have this tile layer and aerial imagery 
layer shown at the same time. See "Vector Tiles" section below for a workaround.

I have added a black diamond at the end of each way. Unfortunately in Mapbox 
Studio I could only find how to add this symbol at one end of each way so it's 
not complete but hopefully still useful. I've done a previous test in 
Warwickshire to add black marks at both ends of each way. If useful let me know 
so I can process this data and load it into Mapbox Studio for styling.

Vector tiles
Mapbox also creates vector tiles of the data. This can be loaded into iD 
Editor. To do so open iD, press "f" to open the Map Data dialogue and within 
Custom Data paste the following:

https://api.mapbox.com/v4/robjn.cc9hly53/{zoom}/{x}/{y}.mvt?access_token=pk.eyJ1Ijoicm9iam4iLCJhIjoid0dYNkY1QSJ9.A-0lzQOawGYICYPfURsjDA

This then shows the data in bright pink. Text labels are also in bright pink 
solving the problem of black text on black background above. You can overlay 
this on top of aerial imagery. The other great thing is that you can select the 
ways just as if they were OSM ways. Selecting one shows the extent of the ways 
and it's tags. Given that all ways are drawn in pink when using vector tiles 
you will need to select each to confirm it's right of way class. Maybe one day 
there will be simple rules within iD that allow us to colour vector tiles data 
based on the tags.

I'm not yet aware of any way to add the mvt vector tiles to JOSM.

P.S. I am on a free tier within Mapbox Studio. If popular I might run out so if 
the layer stops working you know why! We could see if Mapbox will allow us (or 
OSM UK) so additional free allowance.

Best regards,
Rob
