We are moving to mastodon. Find us there! https://t.co/zsoV8JH4Z7 This account will stay but not be updated.

What's most important, though, is how much joy and service that OpenStreetMap brings it's gigantic, diverse, multi-talented, mapping community. We asked a few of you what you love about OSM--here's what you said. 4/5

We open sourced our https://t.co/V9PYZ7CeLx at https://t.co/E6ullp26UD. Also added two @openrailwaymap overlays!

Do you know our label layers mix quite well with @stamen's watercolor background?

[Tracestrack Maps @tracestrack]

#style Some new icons are supported! 1. cuisine=ramen/noodle/udon 2. amenity=events_venue 3. solar farm plant:sourcesolar=solar 4.amenity=childcare

[Tracestrack Maps @tracestrack]

#style We are adding icons for shop=storage_rental and amenity=school/university. School icon is a lovely combo of pencil and apple from @mapbox's maki icon set. Other two come from @flaticon.

#opensource We launched another open source project "OpenStreetMap Routes Index" https://t.co/kdeOul1Ite. This project list route relations based on country and matching tags. For example here is a list of NYC subways https://t.co/eaf8XZDKT9.

#style Place names in some sparsely populated countries will be displayed from lower zoom level to increase visibility.

Played a bit with #Felt's raster support. Works pretty well with topo base map. Surprised to see a route annotation option. Well done well done.

In this week we added two more language layers: Swedish(sv) and Turkish(tr): https://t.co/meVpRtGq84 Also added an edge server at Ashburn, US: https://t.co/sIagoeVDKk

@LimaMapper Perhaps try 3rd party solutions like auth0?

@bdon ASML = TSMC ?

We've updated the information page about current update schedules. There is also an interactive map showing areas with changes in the last 7 days, which are being rendered. https://t.co/KL98SK9i5O

[Tracestrack Maps @tracestrack]

#update Our two-day and weekly tile render schedules are a bit off due to increasing render backlog. We are trying to simplify updates to a simple 7-day frequency based on map changes.

Lately we've revised our storage architecture to incorporate S3 (compatible) object storage as a main tile repository (previously render server). The storage is replicated to Asia. Latency should be improved as a result. We are populating a few TB's of tiles to the storage.

@protomaps Also interested in meeting up in the Netherlands!

[Tracestrack Maps @tracestrack]

#render natural=peak in US will soon be rendered in feet.

[Tracestrack Maps @tracestrack]

Just launched another language layer: Thai! Check it out in Explorer: https://t.co/yLxLEUXJo6

#ops The edge server in Germany has been running uninterruptedly for three months. Time to reboot!

#opensource We just open-sourced our bus routes map layer. If you want to experiment or contribute, please check out https://t.co/lXO5BZYCg3
