Looks very pretty, and I think this would be a great thing to have on the new US servers! One small styling thing... It's sometimes a bit hard to read the text. Could you replace the white halo with a black one, maybe? - Serge ___ Talk-us mailing list

Re: [Talk-us] TopOSM 2

Agreed -- looks very nice. Thank you. It would be very useful, I think, to have a layer which presents the currently available USGS topomaps for two reasons: first, as a reference to illustrate improvements; second, as a reference to illustrate gaps. Also, I should know, but what is the

Re: [Talk-us] TopOSM 2

I agree with the previous replies. It looks wonderful. The cartography is beautiful. Serge is right though, the blue text with the white halo for the water features is difficult to read. Sometimes it appears a little blurry. I am not sure a black halo will do the trick either. What about

[Talk-us] TopOSM 2

Hi all! Since Ian Dees recently brought up the OSM-US servers, I thought I'd mention that I'm reviving my old TopOSM project which - for those who haven't seen it - is a US-wide topo map using OSM data [1]. This time it's updated with carto styling, tilestache compositing and support for

[Talk-us] TopOSM Colorado

Hi All! It's been a while since the last TopOSM update, but I haven't been resting. After Massachusetts, I decided to pick a state with somewhat more interesting topography: Colorado. http://toposm.com/co/ There are still a few rough edges and things that are missing (like the map legend), so

TopOSM-CO has a few important differences from TopOSM-MA: What, MASSGIS doesn't cover Aspen? * Color-by-elevation in base layer. interesting * Contour lines and hillshading generated from NED [1]. does that mean you're interpolating lines from a grid? * Hydrography (lakes, rivers,

[Talk-us] TopOSM wiki page

Since several people asked for the details of how it was created, I added a wiki page for TopOSM (the Mass topo map). It's a draft, and probably full of errors, but at least it's a start. I included some illustrations of the techniques used, as well as (I think) all of the scripts and other
