Tranparent trail map of Israel?

valleyofdawn · 2012-02-22 08:19:59

Anybody knows of a transparent OSM-based map containing paths and tracks of Israel?
I'd like to use it as a raster layer on a satellite image.
There is this one:

But the brown thin paths are barely visible.
Thanks,

Hey Valley,

What do you use to view Vector Maps on top of Raster?

valleyofdawn · 2012-02-27 18:42:25

Actually I am viewing transparent raster maps on top of raster base layers using mobile atlas creator (MOBAC).
Explanation here:
http://mobac.sourceforge.net/MOBAC/READ … rMapSource
I'm sure other applications (OKmap?, maperitive?) can deal with vectors, but I have no experience in this.

I'm working on such a project using Maperative.

Here is a snapshot of the trails layer on top of the OSM Mapnik base map:

The transparent layer can then be used as you wish.

In this project, I'm trying to create the usual annotation for trails:
- Draw the lines in the the colors of the trails, as taken from either the "colour" tag of the way or the "osmc:symbol" tag of the route/trail relation
- The Israel Trail is drawn as a semi-transparent orange background, as seen in the lower left corner of the snapshot

In addition it uses
- Single dashes for walking trails: "highway" tag is one of path, cycleway, footway
- Double solid lines for high grade tracks: "tracktype" tag is one of grade1,grade2
- Double dashes for all other tracks

I would appreciate feedback on the criteria above, as the Hiking & Biking trails section of the WikiProject Israel page does not directly address the trail classification subject.

If you are interested in collaborating, please let me know.

@zstadler: this is so great that you are working on this, I would like to contribute if possible (I have some prior experience with Maperitive)

Seems to me correct. Perhaps you should add "highway=service" to the criteria for double solid lines.

@dimka: You are right. The criteria for double solid lines - i.e., trails good for any vehicle - should be broader.

I thought of:
- Single dashes for walking trails: "highway" tag is one of "path", "cycleway", "footway"
- Double dashes for 4wd vehicles: "highway=track" and "tracktype" is either undefined, "grade3", "grade4", or "grade5"
- Double solid lines for any vehicle: all other highways

Can you please share your Maperitive definitions?

zstadler · 2012-09-25 14:12:37

The following rule set was tested with Maperitive v2.3.13
Please post your comments and improvements here or send me a PM.
