CyclOSM

CyclOSM is a CartoCSS map style designed with cycling in mind. It leverages OpenStreetMap data to create a beautiful and practical cycling map!

Build Status

CyclOSM

Demonstration

A demonstration of this style is available at https://cyclosm.org.

The tile server url is https://{s}.tile-cyclosm.openstreetmap.fr/cyclosm/{z}/{x}/{y}.png. Tiles can be reused under the general OpenStreetMap tile usage policy.

The map is available by default in the following smartphone applications:

The tile server is provided by OpenStreetMap-France, many thanks to them for the support!

Philosophy

CyclOSM is a new cycle-oriented render. Contrary to OpenCycleMap, this render is free and open-source software and aims at being more complete to take into account a wider diversity of cycling habits.

In urban areas, it renders the main different types of cycle tracks and lanes, on each side of the road, for helping you draw your bike to work route. It also features essential POIs as well as bicycle parking spots or spots shared with motorbikes, specific infrastructure (elevators / ramps), road speeds or surfaces to avoid streets with pavings, bumpers and bike boxes, etc.

The same render also lets you visualize main bicycle touring routes as well as essential POIs when touring (emergency services, shelters, tourism, shops).

Features

Render:

  • Cycleways track, lanes, cycle-bus lanes
  • Motor oneway - two way for bicycle
  • Cycle routes (local, regional, national, international)
  • Parking for bicycle (or motorcycle parking open to bicycle)

  • Elevation curves and shading
  • Smoothness of the roads
  • Traffic calming

A list of the tags considered by this render is available in Taginfo JSON format in taginfo.json.

Some extra information about the way OSM tags are rendered is available in the wiki.
