Looks good, although I think the VMD layer is too transparent; I
struggle to see where RoWs join up to roads as the road seems to
disappear at that point.

Have you tried adding barrier=fence/wall/hedge to it?  I know they're
not on the OS Landrangers, but they are very useful when they are there.
 Maybe they only work at 1:25k, though.

[Talk-GB] Freemap-VMD : OpenData plus OSM footpaths

2011-10-23 Thread Nick Whitelegg
Hi,

Did an initial experiment with this a while back but now I've extended the area 
of coverage to include much of England and all of Wales.

Anyway, Freemap-VMD (working title) is a combination of VectorMap District 
raster tiles, LandForm PANORAMA contours and rights of way and permissive paths 
from OSM, rendered in a somewhat Landranger-like style. 

It currently covers much of England (Manchester southwards, except for East 
Anglia) and all of Wales. It may be some time before it expands further, due to 
the slowness of uploading the tiles (30-45 minutes for 100-150 MB of tiles is 
typical). Note that *only* paths with the designation tag or foot=permissive 
are shown; for that reason, Wales looks pretty empty, even Snowdonia - but as 
soon as the paths are tagged correctly it should come to life ;-)
