Tracestrack Maps

We are moving to mastodon. Find us there! @tracestrack" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">en.osm.town/@tracestrack This account will stay but not be updated.

What's most important, though, is how much joy and service that OpenStreetMap brings it's gigantic, diverse, multi-talented, mapping community. We asked a few of you what you love about OSM--here's what you said. 4/5 blog.openstreetmap.org/2023/08/09/hap…

We open sourced our tracesmap.com at github.com/tracestrack/tr…. Also added two @openrailwaymap overlays!

Do you know our label layers mix quite well with @stamen's watercolor background?

#style Some new icons are supported! 1. cuisine=ramen/noodle/udon 2. amenity=events_venue 3. solar farm plant:sourcesolar=solar 4.amenity=childcare

#style We are adding icons for shop=storage_rental and amenity=school/university. School icon is a lovely combo of pencil and apple from @mapbox's maki icon set. Other two come from @flaticon.

#opensource We launched another open source project "OpenStreetMap Routes Index" routes.tracestrack.com. This project list route relations based on country and matching tags. For example here is a list of NYC subways routes.tracestrack.com/us/subway/newy….

#style Place names in some sparsely populated countries will be displayed from lower zoom level to increase visibility.

Played a bit with #Felt's raster support. Works pretty well with topo base map. Surprised to see a route annotation option. Well done well done.

In this week we added two more language layers: Swedish(sv) and Turkish(tr): #lang=sv-name" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">console.tracestrack.com/explorer#lang=… Also added an edge server at Ashburn, US: #tile_server" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">tracestrack.com/information/#t…

@LimaMapper Perhaps try 3rd party solutions like auth0?

@bdon ASML = TSMC ?

NL/TW comparison thread: Amsterdam = Taipei Rotterdam = Kaohsiung Eindhoven = Hsinchu VanMoof = Gogoro Albert Heijn = PX Mart (but AH is way better) Any other easy ones?

We've updated the information page about current update schedules. There is also an interactive map showing areas with changes in the last 7 days, which are being rendered. tracestrack.com/information/

#update Our two-day and weekly tile render schedules are a bit off due to increasing render backlog. We are trying to simplify updates to a simple 7-day frequency based on map changes.

Lately we've revised our storage architecture to incorporate S3 (compatible) object storage as a main tile repository (previously render server). The storage is replicated to Asia. Latency should be improved as a result. We are populating a few TB's of tiles to the storage.

@protomaps Also interested in meeting up in the Netherlands!

The @protomaps Europe tour happening in April: ~ April 1-11 Berlin ~ April 12-16 Netherlands ~ April 17-24 London Let me know if you're nearby and want to chat about web mapping and open source!

#render natural=peak in US will soon be rendered in feet.

Just launched another language layer: Thai! Check it out in Explorer: #lang=th-name" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">console.tracestrack.com/explorer#lang=…

#ops The edge server in Germany has been running uninterruptedly for three months. Time to reboot!

#opensource We just open-sourced our bus routes map layer. If you want to experiment or contribute, please check out github.com/tracestrack/bu…
