  That doesn't appear to be a printed map.

  Can you print this?

    With a small script you could download the 100-odd tiles you might need[1], join them together (perhaps with montage[2]), and print the result. This won't produce a poster-quality print, and the usual services to print OSM don't seem to have a transport theme available[3].

  Is openrailwaymap just a filter of which OSM features to show, or does it include data that is not in OSM?
  • mormegil 7y ago
    It's just a specialized renderer for the same database. But the project cares about the data model and helps curate the data. See https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OpenRailwayMap https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OpenRailwayMap

      It's a project run by the intersection of trainspotters & map programmer nerds. Of course they care about data models & tagging and curating data. :)

  There's also the public transport rendering on OpenStreetMap.org. I find this more useful day-to-day, is it also shows busses and ferries, and I'm not often interested in the technical details like the exact line speeds. https://www.openstreetmap.org/#layers=T https://www.openstreetmap.org/#layers=T
