Hi,

The last year we (trage wegen vzw) made a lot of maps based on OSM-data using QGIS.  On octobre 26th we give a talk about this on FOSS4G.  But I like to come to the meeting to talk about this and sharing experience (and stylsheets :-))

Grtz,
Pieter

I like to use QGIS for basic stuff. E.g. use an open layers background map, and some data on top of that to highlight certain details. E.g. the maps in this diary were made with OSM data queried from overpass and some open layers map: http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/joost%20schouppe/diary/38103

It's also relativly easy to use QGIS for rendering OSM data using a sqlite database (and that's easy to make within the package, based on a .pbf file). I don't have experience making a pretty map that way, but it can be quite useful to make maps highlighting specific kinds of data. E.g. maps like these are easy to make in QGIS: http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/joost%20schouppe/diary/40267 (though here the data comes from the osm-history toolchain, not just from a pbf file)

I think theoretically you could use QGIS and a stylesheet to make a pretty map from scratch, but haven't seen an example yet. And someone has been working for years on doing something similar in ArcGIS, and I don't think he released it yet.

    Hi,

    During the next Leuven Monthly OSM Meetup I would like to discuss
    rendering. I was using Maperitive in the past to create this:

    I know. I should update that map more regularly...

    Would it make sense to try and use QGIS for rendering? Are there
    other solutions in the mean time?

    Maybe somebody with more expertise in this would like to come and
    give a demo?

    Jo
