[Talk-us] Massachusetts topo map

[Lars Ahlzen]

Hi OSMappers!

I've been working on a topographic map based on OSM data, somewhat
similar in style to the National Geographic topo maps. It's very much
work in progress, but I thought someone here might be interested.
Feedback is welcome!

It's (currently) limited to the state of Massachusetts - partly because
that's where I live and partly because high-resolution contours and
elevation data (significantly higher resolution than e.g. SRTM) is
freely available through MassGIS. If similar data is available
for other regions, the same type of map could most likely be generated
there.

When I have time I'll fix some of the issues with the map and include
the steps (and scripts) used to generate it. Meanwhile, have a look:

PS. I'm looking for hosting. It's a fair amount of data (several GB),
but if anyone has the space and bandwidth...
