MTB map Czech Republic
From OpenStreetMap Wiki
Mountain bike map of the Czech Republic is a project from (User:MattesCZ). It shows mountain bike, cycling and hiking tracks of Czech Republic and surrounding regions.

Major features
- Mountain bike tracks difficulty: Mountainbike
- Hiking tracks rendering based on Key:osmc:symbol
- Using offset line rendering
- Topographic base layer
- Relief: shading, hypsometry, contours based on SRTM 90m DEM v4.1
- Export of the map into PNG images with scale
- Creating of altitude profiles possible
Notes for users
- Please, be patient with the rendering of tiles in high scales (higher zoom levels). Try using "permalink" if you get blank tiles after some time.
- We use OpenStreetMap data (of course). If you miss something in the map, start collecting and contributing your geographic data too.
Notes for mappers
- Follow instructions on Mountainbike and especially Key:mtb:scale
- Beginners should follow Beginners' guide
- Your recent changes will not render immediately after data import. Use "map export" function to see your changes.
- Consider tagging importance of map features Key:importance
TODO
Feel free to contact User:MattesCZ if you have solutions for following issues, especially #Performance
Map style
- MTB
- Render lines where highway='track' AND tracktype='grade1' as mtb:scale='1' only if line is connected (recursively) with other line, where tag mtb:scale is present
- Hiking
- Show hiking tracks difficulty based on Key:sac_scale
- Show more Key:osmc:symbol values as icons along the track
- Render highway='bridleway' differently from routes for hiking and biking
- Other
- Tunnels rendering with offset line parameters
- Show end points of bridges and tunnels
- Add natural='cliff', natural='stone' for points, lines and polygons
- Show waterway='weir' nodes perpendicularly to river direction
Mapnik
- Switch to Mapnik2.0
- Needed support for contour text placement
- Include contours as transparent images, not render from database every time
- Solve SRTM data shifts (contours are probably shifted to the northeast)
Web page
- Altitude profiles
- Allow SVG export
- Add info to start point, end point etc. from Nominatim
- Generate profiles from GPX files (with/without map)
- Layers
- Add another topographic base layer without thematic overlays and labels
- Add thematic overlays - text labels, MTB tracks, hiking tracks, cycleways,...
- Add KML overlays: info about signposts, photos from [openstreetmap.cz]...
- Map export
- Add 'print' support
- Bounding box and scale parameters like on [openstreetmap.org]
- With/without legend
- Legend
- Update to be rendered automatically based on mapnik style file
- Different legend for every zoom level
- Legend for map export only with map features present in current bounding box
- Other
- Allow hiding of info panel
- Save user's last position of map like on [openstreetmap.org]
Performance
- Speed up tile rendering
- Make renderd to use more CPU cores
- Consider Tirex
- Data range for Alps, Europe, Planet
