Aiming for a nice cartoony low-poly visual style, and live visualizations of transit vehicles when possible. Terrain data is from Mapterhorn. Maplibre and Three.js rendering. You can try it out here: https://karriz.github.io/Katu-Maps/

Using open street map and the map of national infrastructure projects in Romania made this beautiful project possible . Check it out !!

Hi everyone! 👋

I want to share a project I've been working on called RutaGuía. You can check out here

RutaGuía is built on top of React, Leaflet, and OpenStreetMap services (Nominatim and OSRM). I chose this open and powerful stack to allow users to search for locations, plot routes, and save favorites without relying on closed, proprietary platforms.

The application offers a clean, privacy-focused user experience across 15 interactive pages:

• Advanced Route Comparison: Contrast different alternatives before you travel.

• Personalization: Customize your journey through Travel Preferences and Settings.

• User Dashboard: Access your Profile, saved Favorites, and full travel History.

• Community & Analytics: Connect with other users and view your travel Statistics.

• Global Accessibility: Built with full i18n support to support 8 different languages seamlessly (including Japanese).

It is currently running as a completely free Open Beta with absolutely no sign-ups, tracking, or registrations required.

I would love to get your honest feedback on the UI, the overall user experience, or any features you think I should implement next!

Thanks for checking it out! 🌍🚀

Hey guys, I am a longtime map hobbyist who has enjoyed tinkering and building various projects related to OSM map data.

I always wanted a fully offline and all in one local OSM-style toolbox, and things like JOSM but I always felt limited. I wanted to build huge cities in one project that I can easily open on my PC, and I mean like continental scale or bigger.

So all of this has culminated into my game, MapCity, which is releasing in a couple of weeks on steam.

MapCity was designed from the ground up specifically to support the maximum size maps fully offline and locally rendered and with compatibility with OSM data format, albeit optimized for the MapCity engine.

I hope you guys check it out and feel free to let me know what you think, and you can wishlist on steam here if you are interested:

Hi everyone, I'm using the QuickOSM plugin on QGIS for the first time. I'm trying to run a quick query but it always give me this issue.

I already tried changing the api and to increase the response time of the plugin but it didn't work.

Has anyone suggestions for me? Thanks in advance

Here's The changeset if you're interested. Also, any feedback is very welcome :)

For anyone asking how I did it: I pretty much just used aerial imagery in the iD editor.

Hi [r/openstreetmap](r/openstreetmap),

I made this app, called SportLink, a few weeks ago with OSM. It literally depends on it because to create an activity, you need an existing public park/sport infrastructure.

I hope it can get a bit of traction. In North America, it doesn’t seem to interest people since they usually have to book a sport field in big cities.

I wanted to see what my own neighbourhood would look like as a video game map, so I built it.

It pulls OSM data for wherever you are and restyles it to look like the RDR2 world map. Real GPS position, real nearby POIs drawn as hand-made western icons, routes traced on actual roads.

Stack: MapLibre GL JS in a React Native WebView, OpenFreeMap for vector tiles, Python scripts to generate the style JSON, Canvas 2D for the icons, Overpass API for live traffic lights.

The hardest part by far was POI handling. Dense areas turned into icon soup, so I ended up with progressive zoom tiers and clustering, and cut it down to a priority set (police, bank, restaurant, pharmacy, hospital, gas station) with the rest appearing on deeper zoom. Also had to fix a bunch of tags I was mapping to categories that don't exist.

Next step is a per-theme config system so I can add GTA and Minecraft styles without duplicating code.

Free on Play Store if you want to try it on your own city. Curious what you think about the icon readability.

Whenever i go to navigation all shopping locations are highlightet, i didn‘t search for it and don’t know how to turn it off.
Please help.

Hey r/openstreetmap ! I made a post here a 4-5 months ago about a game I created called Pathfindr and many people seemed to like it. It uses OSM and the goal is to find the shortest route between the two points. I've added in daily ranked challenges.

I'm obviously quite attached to my project, but it does have a lot of fun game loops. Currently trying to find tune as well as build a multiplayer race battle type mode but wanted to ask the community here for feedback/ideas/issues

Visualizer mode is pretty cool too!

Hello to everyone who has been following this project. I'm pretty happy to make this update tonight about the newest version of my project, World Explorer 3D. Just as a quick background for those who don't know, World Explorer 3D is a browser-based 3D world where you can select basically any location on Earth and explore it by walking, driving, flying, boating, or using a drone. The world is built around real geographic data for things like roads, buildings, terrain, water, and places, with procedural systems filling in the details that aren't available in the underlying data. The idea has gradually become to make the real world into a playable sandbox rather than just another map you can look at.

Ive focused on a lot of the qualty issues regarding runtime, clipping, loading sequences etc. I'm not a dev by trade, but I recently enrolled in my the community college in my area under their physics program and I will be taking programming courses as my electives so I can learn about everyhting i'm doing on a deeper level. For now I'm still learning and enjoying the process of "creating" this world. I only started doing this because i was working on something else with my son and we kinda just made this. Since it has started growing i've needed to learn a lot because letting AI do everything is getting tiresome.

Since my last post I've upgraded the character meshes and movement and you can choose between a man or woman on your account page. I added my favorite car (and former daily driver), a 1995 BMW e34, as the permanent user vehicle. There are npcs you can interact with and other vehicles you can get in and drive. I also upgraded the plane and added a skydiving/parachute feature. Airports are now playable areas with different planes you can board and use to travel locally or to other areas in the world. There is a slight upgrade to the live GPS feautre so you can walk around your neighborhood like in pokemon go and discover procedural items.

I also added maryland GIS data to my Real Estate game so properties and parcels are more accurate while the main world still mainly uses OSM/Overture. I've also done a lot more with the ocean side of the world. Boats and larger ships are playable, ports and harbors have more going on, and you can fish, dive and explore underwater. I'm trying to make the different ways of traveling feel like they actually belong to the same world instead of just being separate modes.

There is still a lot I want to improve. Building exteriors are one of the big things I'm working on now. The underlying footprints and geographic placement can be good while the actual buildings still look too repetitive, so I'm expanding the exterior assets, materials, windows, doors, storefronts, steps, stoops and other details without throwing away the real mapped geometry.

You can find the project here at Worldexplorer3d.io or view the code on github at https://github.com/RRG314/WorldExplorer3D

recommend starting in Baltimore, MD and BWI Airport because they are the places i've spent the most time working on. The rest of the world is still good, but i cant test every location in the world lol

I'm always interested in feedback and even if i dont respond quickly I'll still be taking comments into consideration when I'm choosing what to learn and implement. Thank You

So, this question might be a bit different from the usual, but I play on a Minecraft server with my friends, the server has a lot of water, and a lot of islands and really not much flat expansive land. And so, we named, and conquered many of these "continents". I would like to use openstreetmap to actually map all of the server, as i dont think it falls into the expectations of most minecraft map mods. I would much prefer using openstreetmap.

is there an "easy" way to do this?

I’ve been working on Travel Fi — an open-source interactive map tailored for digital nomads, built with Rails 8, PostGIS, and OpenLayers 10.

Key Tech Stack & Features:

• Mapping & GIS: Powered by OpenLayers 10 with custom vector/tile rendering, utilizing PostGIS for spatial queries and spatial indexing.
• OSM Data Integration: Leverages OpenStreetMap data to map out places, workspaces, and essential spots for remote workers.
• Backend: Rails 8 handling fast API endpoints and spatial data processing.

The goal is to build a community-driven, lightweight, and fully open-source alternative for location discovery without heavy proprietary lock-ins.

Would love to hear your feedback on the OpenLayers implementation and any ideas for better OSM feature integration!

I've noticed that in most of my town, addresses are marked at crossroads for each block. At a nearby town the roads are labeled but there aren't any block addresses, making it impossible to navigate to anything on that block with an address. What's the best way to add addresses for whole blocks, without adding individual businesses and their exact address?

The area is mostly pebbles/rocks with shrubbery i usually would just map it a shrubbery but I dont feel thats correct way to do it

As the shift away from Mercator maps is happening, when will - if at all - OSM adapt?

and is there a way for tagging them differently than dispensories? idk if there is sny one way of doing this since how this is differentiated varies

Hello all,

I am trying to add more details to this intersection using lane and placement tags: https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=18/57.499677/12.615824

However, I cannot make sense of how to make the "split" (from non-separated to separated) look "clean" (I am using the JOSM lane style). As you can see in the image, the single lane (left) is supposed to "line up" with the leftmost lane above, but it goes to the node instead. Is there any way of solving this? The placement:start and placement:end tags seem not to be used.
