Hi folks!
As I liked the features of the cycle map but rather missed a hiking map based on a similar design, I started working on one. Or rather, as I am doing my mapping on horseback, I am working on a map that some day should be suitable for trail riding. But as the requirements for a hiking map are very similar, it should be able to serve that purpose as well. Main requirements are contour lines, hill shading, emphasis on displaying the trackgrades and paths, landmarks of all kinds and hiking routes. My work on a hiking map originally started with a map for Garmin devices and Map Composer. For the open layers map I extended Composer to generate matching mapnik styles. This means that a Garmin map will be available that exactly matches the online topo map minus the hill shading. You can have a look at an early draft here: http://www.nop.onpw.de/. And there the problems start. Currently the test map is located at a free webhoster, but it is obvious that the final map will be require some magnitudes more webspace. So do you have any recommendations for me on where to find webhosting for this project? It is a simple set of prerendered tiles and openlayers and requires no server side database or applications. I guess I could use advice and help with this project. bye Nop _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
