Hi, author here, Baremaps aims to create an open and easily extensible vector map, inspired by OpenStreetMap Carto. The goal is to provide a high-quality base map for the planet. Since we use PostGIS as a storage backend, you can extend it with your own layers and data.
- Freak_NL 3y agoI hope your planning on going beyond what Carto does. Baremaps currently doesn't render highway=busway either, leading to awkward gaps in the map. It's an accepted tag supported in every renderer except Carto (look at OsmAnd or Organic Maps for instance), because the two or three active maintainers remaining (having lost a number of maintainers in the past two years) don't like the tag. Carto has pretty much stagnated despite its past achievements. As the default renderer for openstreetmap.org, Carto is currently an embarrassment for OpenStreetMap.
- bchapuis 3y agoThank you for describing this issue, I created an issue on GitHub to track it. The fact that OpenStreetMap Carto is used in the OpenStreetMap documentation greatly accelerated our styling process (e.g. https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Map_features https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Map_features). That being said, it is a loose port, and I hope we will soon be able to provide other derivatives, such as a positron style.
- placesalt 3y agoAre coordinates stored in Web Mercator?
- bchapuis 3y agoYes, as the tiles are created directly from Postgis, reprojecting the coordinates would take too much time.
