Show HN: Flatmap β a new tool to create vector tiles from OpenStreetMap data
Flatmap calls into user-defined profiles in 2 places: first when processing each input element to map it to a vector tile feature, then a second time right before emitting all vector features in a layer.
That second call lets you manipulate vector features on each tile using JTS geometry utilities (i.e. merge nearby polygons or lines with the same tags). PostGIS uses GEOS which is ported from JTS so you have access to pretty much the same geometry utilities - often with the same name.
It's definitely not as flexible as a PostGIS based solution - especially if you join faraway features that don't appear on the same tile, but in practice it was enough to port the entire OpenMapTiles schema.
See the basemap layers package: https://github.com/onthegomap/flatmap/tree/main/flatmap-base...
For example see the landcover layer: https://github.com/onthegomap/flatmap/blob/main/flatmap-base...
Which was ported from the SQL contained in: https://github.com/openmaptiles/openmaptiles/tree/master/lay...

GraphHopper Routing Engine - Open Source Route Planning
To fully self-host a route planner (e.g. a "Google Maps" equivalent) you need GraphHopper for the routing and two other parts: you also need some visualization aka "maps" (e.g. with OpenMapTiles) and you need the address search (e.g. with Photon).

parsing Openstreet map layers in python
Probably not the answer you're looking for, but I have been using openmaptiles to pull osm into postgres (in docker using quickstart.sh). If you can talk postgres in python then maybe that is for you?

2024: The year of the OpenStreetMap vector maps
Slightly offtopic
I have OsmAnd ( https://github.com/osmandapp/OsmAnd ) on my phone, download the basemaps, download my (small) country data (both sourced from open street maps), and with an app + ~1GB of data, I get the maps and full navigation within my country, POIs, etc., and can add other countries when needed.
Is there something similar for a PC? I can download data from open street maps, but then I need postgres, postgis, a tile server and styles and apache running just to generate the tiles. Is there anything portable (short of running osmand in an android virtualbox) for offline navigation on a linux pc? QGIS can display vectors, but I wasn't able to easily style the data... navigation is a no-go there too. anything else?

"I'm in this picture and I don't like it"
OsmAnd works for me. I am looking to get off Google, so I try to retire anything that is not on F-Droid. OsmAnd is a independent project ( osmand.net ) that uses the data you can also access under www.openstreetmap.org . The App is not perfect and sometimes it calls for the wrong action, for example when a road is just taking a steep turn it might ask for you to turn onto a different road which is actually the same every now and then. Also Google uses the location data of it's users to change routes depending on congestion afaik. Don't expect that from OsmAnd.

Improving your online privacy: An update
Regarding usage of OpenStreetMap over Google Maps - assuming we're talking mobile usage - you might give OSMAnd[0] a try. I've been using it exclusively on a Pixel loaded with GrapheneOS for a few months now. I would never consider going back to GMaps and I don't feel that I've lost anything either.

Organic Maps
OSMAnd tracks users using a secret supercookie by default because the developer wants metrics. This is done without consent. The defensiveness of the developer with regards to such unethical tracking means that I will never use any software they ever release.
