prettymaps VS Openstreetmap

These maps look great! Reminds me of a project I saw a long time ago [1]. Glad you made this downloadable for everyone who cannot write code.

P.S.: Now, I also have some (birthday) presents ;-)

You can generate them yourself from Open Street Maps. Use this Google Colab. Source - prettymaps.

Check out Pretty Maps, or the online version, and /r/prettymaps_

Great work! I love osmnx, it's such a nice library. I remember using it at school to work out distance from fire stations across my city. There's this nice library that uses it called prettymaps, I've been meaning to take some time with it to do some sweet posters.

prettymaps – A small set of Python functions to draw pretty maps from OpenStreetMap data

I map many trails on osm from personal site surveys and a combination of sat imagery and my gpx files. No way google is doing that because there is no one to steal the data from. It was me, the enthusiast that put it in osm directly. That’s just me and the trails I load tho. Example - Latest was short one at monkeyface falls. https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/34.098058/-116.955639

A long time ago, I was a math T.A. in the university and the main T.A. of my course was blind. He used a screen reader for everything, and wrote LaTeX and had a paper versions of the courser exercises in Braile+LaTeX (IIRC).

> a PDF alternative for the blind

I'm not sure what it means. It's a PDF reader? It's another format that is similar PDF but more screen reader friendly?

> Google Maps/navigation for the blind in my city

Do you know https://www.openstreetmap.org/ The data is open, so it may be useful to build an easier to use client, so you don't have to collect all the info.

> I am concerned about parasitic big corporations taking the code and putting it behind a paywall

Probably AGPL is better for your intentions.

> Not only would I be inviting disorganized, poorly constructed code,

There is no obligation as a maintainer to merge all PR. But remember to be nice.

If you are interested to gain confidence with custom components, I recommend to build component that stores latitude and longitude of location on a map, and provide interface using Google Maps, OpenStreetMap, or similar map provider.

Open Street Map

is there already a live version of this? Because for me, there doesn't seem to be an option for activating vector tiles on https://www.openstreetmap.org/

> Tunnels and bridges have been proposed and in 1880 work started on experimental tunnels in Folkstone that were dug by hand and an early tunnel boring machine.

The extent of this work from 1880 and 1881 is shown on OpenStreetMap[0].

My my local pet peeve of horrible roundabouts, you got cycling paths, a tram line, a bus line with different exit and cars. (the hexagonal cycling path with internal car circle causes the cars to not see a lot of the cycling paths making accidents frequent): https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/51.996997/4.354979
