"OpenStreetMap data is free for everyone to use. Our tile servers are not." See https://operations.osmfoundation.org/policies/tiles/ for more "In particular, downloading an area of over 250 tiles at zoom level 13 or higher for offline or later usage is forbidden." is the most limiting part
Thanks Mateusz. However, I would not be using any OSM tiles at all. I would be using this PDF download function instead:
https://85a.uk/osm_pdf_download.png and once only for any given map area.
Though I suspect that rendering map (raster tiles with Mapnik, client-side rendered vector tiles, rendering on client side from raw OSM data etc) will be better than fetching raster tiles and modifying them
I agree that modifying a raster image, whether from a tile or any other, would give very poor results, especially when zoomed in. But I'm not planning to fetch or modify any raster tiles.
The downloaded PDF files are vector files which can be zoomed to any level without pixelating, and can have the internal records modified as required.
cheers, Martin. _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
