Tracestrack Carto style is forked from openstreetmap-carto on Jan 12, 2021. Following is a main list of changes:
Tracestrack Topo style is a hybrid of Carto and OpenTopoMap. It uses the same SRTM data to generate hillshades and countours, which lie on top of Carto style background.
Currently, Tracestrack has four high performance
rendering servers and two caching
edge servers.
Two edge servers handle traffic based on user locations:
Most of the tiles are prerendered. With limited resources, it is difficult to keep an up-to-date map repository in a short period of time, like OpenStreetMap.org does.
Our strategy is to rerender recently-accessed areas more frequently. We distinguish active and inactive areas. Active areas are rerendered approximately every 21 days. Inactive areas are rerendered in longer period, for example one month to six months.
We love to make our map style meet users' needs. If you want to render new tags or update current styles, let us know by mentioning @tracestrack on Twitter, or send us an email at info(at)tracestrack.com.
The source code of Tracestrack Carto style is not open. We plan to make it open source in certain moment in future.
