    In that case, openstreetmap.org uses the Carto style by default, for which Kosmtik should do the job, but I haven't personally tried it to know how to use it. JTileDownloader also might work to download the tiles directly from the website, but again, haven't used personally.

    Looks nice but it's probably not really usable for navigation. I checked the Netherlands and Germany. You'd need more details for safely navigating on the water. But it definitely has potential.

    There are also some other specialized open street map based maps for

    - rails: https://www.openrailwaymap.org/

    - cycling: https://www.opencyclemap.org/

    - sea map (competes with this I guess, and is a bit more detailed for navigation): https://map.openseamap.org/

    And probably loads of other ones.

  • My new concept of the trip of my life. Is it possible to pull this off using the 15 days Interrail Global Pass?

    Hey, I have just found this official Interrail map: https://www.interrail.eu/content/dam/pdfs/Interrail%20map%202022.pdf. There is a note on the bottom of the first page that says "Please note that only a selection of the available railway lines is shown on this map.", so I not sure it is always reliable. It is still significantly more helpful than the map I linked in my previous comment. Notice how this map shows how there is a train track in Albania (https://www.openrailwaymap.org/) and it seems to not be included into the Interrail Pass (it is absent on the official map).

    Thanks, I was inspired by this map: https://www.openrailwaymap.org/ I guess I was misled.

    OpenRailwayMap has a detailed map of rail lines around Europe, a good way to see metro/tram stations across cities. OSM seems to do a decent job showing pedestrian areas in Dutch cities. Google Street View/Google Earth is hard to beat.

    There is no alternate railway route over land. Unfortunate OpenRailwayMap is down atm so can't show on an interactive map, but they'd have to ferry trains to Mariupol or another city in the south and then have them go from there.
  • I made my own QR Rail map by adding old lines and some new ones, the reason for each line is in the comments :).

    Yes, I know this isn't CRR map, but that map doesn't have all stations listed. Tennyson line - **Reinplmention** of tennyson connection. Booval Line - **Reniplmention and upgrade** single track Swambank branch line. > Expanasion from springfield, connecting to Brisbane-sydney line then onto loganlea Sydney Line - **Upgrading** to due track adding stations along the way. (Addiation track may need to be made due to track our track gauge) Altandi Line - **New** line going mainly through currently undeveloped area. Dayboro Line - **Reinstating/Rebuilding** the closed part of the fenry grove line. Petri Line - **New** line connecting dayboror/Ferny Grove, mainly going through undeveloped area connecting the Strathpine. Kilcoy Line - **Reinstating old/disused track** > Foot Note, the track use to run up the Glass House Mountains Conservation Park, however it is likely if it was really reinstated it'd follow the D'aguilar Highway then reconnect where it did at the other end of the mountain. CAMCOS / Sunshine Line - CAMCOS is currently a in planning track, from what I can tell it will be rail, correct me if im wrong (Souce, Sunshine Coast Council) > Foot note, CAMCOS actually starts "starts" at Beerwah, however I'd guess it'd go down to at least pretie. To find all the disused railway track I was refercing, go here. https://www.openrailwaymap.org/ It can be a little bit hard to find as some are not shown as primary track. Fun fact, most of the lines you can still see the out line of them with ariel imagery, even if the track is no longer there.

    You can find them here! Little hard to find sometimes are they're not fully shown, mostly broken brown lines but they're there! https://www.openrailwaymap.org
