@oshistory Impressive collection and very interesting to go through it.

Have you seen what the Dutch have done with their old maps? You can travel through time

UPDATE 2: We're carefully back online again, with a few exceptions:

Can we have a lill boost please? The fediverse is the only place we're on.

We're a replacement for googlemaps.

Recently, I got back into my electronics projects. While working with a colleague on a IoT project, he asked me how I know which development board to choose.

At first I thought I had no idea, but I found out I did. So I decided to jot down my train of thoughts

I think this is a nice example what you could do with the data:

The map shows the cooling effect of water and greenery (trees) in cities

@kate the offcial website says it's being updated every year.

Oke, a closure look revealed that not all trees are included, but still.

@rduivenvoorde

Yes, it is. It's part of the 'Basisregistratie Topografie

See https://www.pdok.nl/introductie/-/article/basisregistratie-topografie-brt-topnl for more information and options to get the data.

You can also use the download viewer: https://app.pdok.nl/brt/top10nl/download-viewer/. Draw a polygon of your area of interest and hit download.

The .zip contains a bunch of gml's. I found the trees in the 'inrichtingselementen.gml' as point featuers. A filter on "typeInrichtingselement" = 'boom'.

@RagnaJa Yes,

There are different ways to access the data. The easiest and quickest is via this download viewer: https://app.pdok.nl/brt/top10nl/download-viewer/.

Just draw a polygon of your area of interest and hit the download button.

It fascinates me every time I see it. The Dutch government has an official geodataset which includes all trees in the country.

-- edit: not all, but a lot

Here is an update on what I'm working on. #buildinpublic

I'm exploring auto styling #OGC Vectortiles in #mapstyler. In this example, the population density is styled based on a user defined color. Very happy with these first results.

I'm just not sure about the map readability of this implementation. The coloring scheme is of course dependent on the distribution of the data. So I guess additional options for categorization of the data are needed.

#gischat #indiedev #gis #webgis

I'm giving #Tilemaker (https://tilemaker.org) a go to generate me some #VectorTiles from #OpenStreetMap 🗺️

Lovely little self-contained project 😍 It's able to generate #Protomaps .pmtiles to visualize with #Maplibre 👏

Getting started is as easy as

docker run -it --rm ghcr.io/systemed/tilemaker:master --help

Solid work there @richardf 🙌

A new version of https://mapstyler.com is available! New features are amongst other:

- Applying data filters
- Styling based on data filters
- Beta support for OGC Vector Tiles

@jcarlson win 11. I used snipping tool, but it gives an error and my attempts to fix it have failed.

I need a screen recorder to record demo videos of apps. Any ideas?

Musical #osm. Live map playing sounds and showing edits on openstreetmap. Quite relaxing. #gischat

@markstos Took me some time, but I finally got the chance to dive into scratch layers in QGIS. It indeed works really nice and promising.

@maeool @cedricr Great work. The bike lanes show really nice when zooming in on The Netherlands.

Curious how the map will look when bike lanes are styled based on type. For example, in The Netherlands we are getting more and more bicycle highways in and between cities. These are wide bidirectional lanes where cyclists have priority over cars. Styling those should show some kind of network like we have now with highways for cars.

By the way, is there an option to export route as a GPX?

@richlv vreat job! For some reason it's very satisfying to contribute.

While editing the maps in my previous post using #OSM data, I thought crossed my mind:

The tags for the attribute 'highway' are very car centric. The highways, primary, secondary roads etc. are all for cars.

How will our maps look like if we make the bikes, trains, bus roads more prominent on our maps?
