I am the Maintainer of the German Style OSM Carto fork and operator of http://tile.openstreetmap.de for a couple of years now. Usually I try to follow upstream releases as fast as possible to make sure that the fork keeps as close to upstream as possible. However, back in March OSM Carto v5.0.0 has been released… ... mehr auf blog.gegg.us
For most westerners the standard tile layer is basically unreadable in regions of the world where Latin script is not the norm. For this reason German style has been using localization for years. Unfortunately for some people this has been implemented in a somewhat incompatible way regarding standard tile layer which would require changes to…... mehr auf blog.gegg.us
In light of the upcoming virtual meetup on osm2pgsql I decided to write a short blogpost about the top five features I want to see in osm2pgsql. To be able to move my map localisation stuff from PostgreSQL stored procedures to the data import stage I will need the get_bbox() feature of the new flex… ... mehr auf blog.gegg.us
Back in June 2017 the OpenStreetMap Carto style (which German style is based on) finaly made the change to a hstore based PostgreSQL backend (a key value store, well suited for OSM tags). I have been using hstore in German style for many years now and went even further by eliminating all columns in the... ... mehr auf blog.gegg.us
When I started mapping the then newly established backcountry campsites in the Black Forest back in 2017, I discovered, that the current mapping quality of campgrounds in Openstreetmap is actually quite poor. Unfortunately this situation did not improve that much since then. Being active in OSM for more than 10 years now, I also know... ... mehr auf blog.gegg.us
Following this tweet about a request of localized maps on osm.org I would like to share some thoughts on this topic. OpenStreetMap is very useful in general, but, for me, is almost unusable in countries with non-Latin alphabets. The best option I've seen so far is this German-named map https://t.co/a6mQGWfY1P. It solves 95% of the… ... mehr auf blog.gegg.us

Just in time to the upcomming SOTM 2019 conference I added a few new features to Open Camping Map. Despite the fact, that the tagging of campgrounds did not improve that much since my first announcement of Open camping Map the new features will hopefully motivate more people to help with the enhancement of campsite... ... mehr auf blog.gegg.us

Back in 2019 when I started Open Camping Map a relevant part of my motivation to create this site was that this might help motivating mappers to improve the then very poor tagging state. Now about five years later I was wondering if this actually worked. So I extracted the development of campsite tagging of… ... mehr auf blog.gegg.us

Looking at https://opencampingmap.org one might get the impression that nothing has changed. This is true as far as the general UI is concerned, however quite a lot has been changed behind the scenes. BTW, I still would like to have prettier site icons. Probably somebody with better graphic skills than mine can help here! So… ... mehr auf blog.gegg.us
