I’ve succeeded in doing a full planet import now, so rendering requests are not limited to just Europe anymore.

Currently the database is not fully up to date, but I hope to have minutely changeset import running by the end of the weekend.

The neighborhood POI editor now supports selecting a base layer style for both display and printing.

Available styles for now are:

• Reduced CartoOSM style
• German CartoOSM style
• Humanitarian style
• HikeBikeMap style

You may have noticed that the services on this domain were a bit slow the last few days. This was due to a new database import running in the background, importing an OSM extract of all of Europe instead of just Germany.

My MapOSMatic instance now also provides the new style (along with the old one for now).

I just returned from FrOSCon in St. Augustin, Germany, where I had a talk on Creating printable maps, (with Video recording), and another one on GIS features in MariaDB and MySQL (not recorded)

Especially the “printable maps” one went pretty well, and several great ideas and feature requests were brought up in the Q&A part and in the hallway discussion afterwards …

I just returned from this years OSM Summer Camp, held in combination with the sixth FOSSGIS hacking event in and around the Linuxhotel.

Aside from celebrating the 12th OSM birthday I continued to hack on my local href=”MapOSMatic instance, the web editor for printable neighborhood maps, and MariaDB/MySQL and SpatiaLite backends for osm2pgsql.

I created a new web frontend to the MapOSMatic rendering backend that supports putting POI markers on a slippy map and then renders a map with markers set on the map and a customized index sidebar that contains given marker titles and icons.

There’s also preliminary documentation and, of course, a GitHub repository for it.
