Could you please include “highway=path”, at least those which also have “bicycle=yes” or “bicycle=designated”? This seems to be the recommended tag for ways in germany which can and should be used by bicycle. So without it the opencyclemap is nearly useless in germany.

Question: How did you render hillshading for such a large area (whole world)? Did you point the mapnik tiler to dynamically generated osm.xml files, each of which pointed then to an area-specific GeoTIFF?

Hi there.
1. At closer zoom levels it’s frequently impossible to tell if the road/way goes downhill or uphill, as the altitude tags aren’t relative to the current view.
2. Why don’t Cycle Map render the “highway=PATH” OSM-tag? Many “paths” are good and desirable for biking.
Could you solve that?

Is there a way of rendering contra-flow cycle lanes as the northern end of Gilston Road in http://www.opencyclemap.org/?zoom=18&lat=51.48811&lon=-0.18287&layers=B000 – that part of Gilston Road is one-way northbound for motorists, but there is a southbound cycle lane. The map appears to show a cycle lane in a one-way street – it looks as though the cycle lane is the same direction as the traffic.

Very nice indeed.
I exported the cycle map to .img format för my garmin and it turned out good. Bu hos do I do to export the hill contours? Srtm2Osm???

I would like to see some things in the map:
Streets, Footways and Path (and maybe all other Objects) with bicycle=yes should be highlighted.
Streets with cycleway=track should be highlighted.
highway=path should be visible.

How should i tag a Pub with free wifi?

So that’s how you’ve done it! I had presumed you’d drawn the contours then filled in space between them in different colours, in which case colouring in at higher zoom levels may have been trivial. On the highest zoom that is still coloured (see my link above) you can see the nearest-neighbour interpolation if you look carefully, so I can imaging what it would look like if zoomed in even more.

It would be good if the height data went to zero at the coastline – I wonder if anyone has linked the OSM coastline data with the SRTM data to force it to be correct (this would necessitate some smoothing at the edges of course).
