Tagged: OAM World Maps
Happy to announce that the new set of maps is available on the OAM World Map page.
These are the major news:
– The complete OAM background for ZL 8 and above is now based on Christian’s January 2025 OAM vector maps release.
– Ferry lines and curated energy sources (wind, solar etc.) are now based on January 2025 OSM data, too.
As the solar boom in residential areas has flooded the maps in some places with “S” signs, I heavily restricted that display to larger solar installations.
A look behind the scenes:
– from early 2024 the OSM solar entries rose from a bit more than 2m to nearly 3.5m, i.e. nearly doubling in less than a year.
– the newly introduced clip level (no points at all, larger panel areas only) took out nearly 2.5m entities from display.
– MBTiles maps have a map center set (again); for the world maps this is near Antarctica to keep them out of “nearest map” lists. The map center for regional maps is (about) central to the respective region.
– Also peaks with high isolation are computed based on the January OSM data.
Doing some QA by comparing to results from August 2024 I found quite a number of peaks that sit on places of earlier “virtual” peaks (based on Copernicus data). Not claiming influence by the world maps here; it’s just nice to see.
Enjoy!
