Raster maps are mature and easy to support on mobile/desktop apps and websites. With 512px tile size, maps can also be sharp on HD screens. Raster maps can show more details on low zoom than vector. When raster data sources, such as hillshades and satellite data is involved, raster map may also perform better than vector maps.
Tracestrack Carto style is forked from openstreetmap-carto on Jan 12, 2021. Following is a main list of changes:
Tracestrack Topo is a topographic map style derived from Carto and inspired by OpenTopoMap. It makes use of several DEM data sources to generate hillshades and countour lines. This map style is a featured map on osm.org.
Currently, Tracestrack has three high performance
rendering servers and several edge servers.
The database is synchronized with OSM everyday. Tile cache is rerendered roughly every 10 days, depending on the number of updated regions. The following map keeps track of the last two update areas. Red marks the current update areas and gray marks the previous ones.
We love to make our map style meet users' needs. If you want to render new tags or update current styles, please open issues on Github.
The source code of Tracestrack Carto and Topo style is partly open. You can find it on Github.
We also take issues and pull requests from openstreetmap-carto as sources to improve the maps. Following is a list of issues and PRs that influenced Tracestrack Carto style:
