Openstreetmap-carto Alternatives

Reviews and mentions

• Just made 2 nodes, how come one is normal and one is transparent? Details in comments.

  This is a conscious decision by the maintainers of the standard layer, OSM-carto, and makes sense as you want to make public parking more obvious than places with restricted access.

• No cartography symbol for temples (general)?!?

  Have you check OSM Carto?

• Looking to Download an .IMG exactly like openstreetmaps.org

  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.

• Areas not showing up?

  I found this: https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/issues/2077 It seems that the tag you used is not being rendered as of now.

• Indexing OSM Data on Postgres/PostGIS database

  If you're using standard (carto) style make sure these indexes were created: https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/blob/master/indexes.sql

• Maplibre.org Open Maps SDKs for web and mobile: community driven Mapbox GL fork

  The OSM style is here: https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto

  There is an issue about converting it to vector: https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/issues/3...

  Doesn't seem like there's any current vector versions of that style, but you could make one yourself using Maputnik or similar; you'd probably want to start with OpenMapTiles and maybe even one of the pre-existing styles for OMT like OSM bright.

• Vector Basemap Creation

• How to fix overlapping issues?
  1 project | reddit.com/r/openstreetmap | 23 Apr 2021

  This is a known issue with woodland rendering, although there is also a view that this is working as intended. There are two rendered layers, the green colour & the tree pattern overlay. The two layers effectively have slightly different rules with respect to ordering (largely for technical reasons to do with how the overlay is implemented).

• Made a multi language retina Carto based rendering system

  In `project.mml`: https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/blob/master/project.mml there are SQLs that handles what data are used.

• Can someone explain what PostgresSQL and PostGIS actually are

  Often, you only use these with some application in front of them. You may use Kosmtik with openstreetmap-carto, and then Kosmtik will connect to the PostgreSQL database, perform a query and retrieve the results, and plot the results on the screen.
