TopOSM 2

https://github.com/Ahlzen/TopOSM2

A system for rendering OpenStreetMap based topographic maps.

NOTE: This project is in early development and probably very incomplete

Requirements

TopOSM runs on Linux. It may run it on other platforms as well, but I have not tested this. If you try it, please let me know.

Software

• Mapnik 2.1 (or later) http://mapnik.org/download/ Must be built with at least the following inputs:

  • postgis
  • gdal
  • shape

• TileStache https://github.com/migurski/TileStache

• DEM-Tools https://github.com/Ahlzen/DEM-Tools Currently requires a forked version with more configuration options. This may get merged upstream.

  Local install:

  $ wget https://github.com/Ahlzen/DEM-Tools
  $ cd DEM-Tools
  $ python setup.py install --user
  

• TopOSM2 https://github.com/Ahlzen/TopOSM2

• TrueType fonts:

  • ttf-liberation
  • ttf-mscorefonts-installer
  • ttf-sil-gentium*
  • ttf-adf-*

• Carto parser

• GDAL/OGR (reasonably recent version)

Data

• OSM Planet data

• OSM Water Polygons (shapefile, web mercator) http://openstreetmapdata.com/data/water-polygons

• National Elevation Dataset (NED) GeoTIFF tiles. These are used for contour generation, and can be used as a source for Hillup.

• NLCD2006 Landcover data http://www.mrlc.gov/nlcd06_data.php TODO: Build/use GDAL .vrt file with modified color table

Setup

TODO

• For now, use the contour generation script from TopOSM.
