OpenPisteMap

Posted by Steve Hill on 8 March 2008 in English.

I've got http://openpistemap.org in a vaguely working state, but it still needs a *lot* of work. At the moment it is only rendering data in the Verbier - Zermatt region and won't automatically render new data.

I've had a go at setting up a contour map on it as well, but so far haven't had much success... generate_tiles.py chucks up lots of "proj_init_error:failed to initialize projection with:+proj=latlong" after working through most of
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Contours_on_the_Cycle_Map, so that's something to continue fiddling with tomorrow.

Hi Steve, great initiative to create a piste map!

I happened to visit the Verbier/Quattre Vallees area two weeks ago and added/improved whatever I could despite some recording problems with my borrowed GPS equipment.

Some ideas for the map:
- Height lines (like on the cycle map (www.gravitystorm.co.uk/osm)
- Show restaurants and other useful POI's like toilets etc.

Keep up the good work!

Different tip: if you would be able to get either mod_tile or tilecache working, you won't have to render first every tile in you bbox but every tile which get looked at.
