For my talk at FOSSGIS 2016 I made two time lapse videos that show the evolution of openstreetmap-carto over time.

Für meinen Vortrag auf der FOSSGIS 2016 habe ich zwei Zeitraffer-Videos erstellt, die zeigen wie sich openstreetmap-carto mit der Zeit verändert hat.

Der exzellente Editor JOSM bietet die Möglichkeit das Aussehen der Karte im Editor zu verändern. Neben Linien und Polygonen spielen POI Icons hier eine große Rolle im Standardstil.

Ich habe einen Stil für JOSM erstellt, der die Standard-POI-Icons mit Icons von Osmic ersetzt. Ein Beispiel:

Hier ist das Projekt-Repository: https://github.com/gmgeo/osmic-josm-style

Der Stil verwendet die meisten der 149 derzeit verfügbaren Icons von Osmic und benutzt das Farbschema vom Standardstil von osm.org openstreetmap-carto. Mit dem Stil für JOSM möchte ich eine höhere visuelle Konsistenz zwischen den verschiedenen POI Icons erreichen.

Ich möchte auch die Wiedererkennbarkeit von POIs zwischen JOSM und dem Standardstil erhöhen, was beim Editieren hilfreich sein kann. Da openstreetmap-carto auch viele der Icons von Osmic verwendet, sollte es einfacher sein die Verbindung zwischen POIs auf der Karte und im Editor herzustellen.

The excellent JOSM-Editor offers the possibility to change the way how the map in the editor looks. Apart from line styles and polygons POI icons form a major part of the default style.

I have created a style for JOSM that substitutes default POI icons with icons from Osmic. Here is an example:

Have a look at the project repository: https://github.com/gmgeo/osmic-josm-style

The style uses most of the 149 currently available icons from Osmic and re-uses the colour scheme used by osm.org’s default style openstreetmap-carto. What I’m trying to achieve is more visual consistency between the individual POI icons.

I’m also trying to increase familiarity between JOSM’s style and OSM’s default map style, which might be helpful when editing. Since openstreetmap-carto also uses many of Osmic’s icons making the connection between POI features on the slippy map and in the editor should be easier.

Release 0.2 of Osmic is available. Osmic is a collection of 100+ clean high quality SVG icons optimised for small sizes. The SVG icons are licensed under Public Domain (or CC0) and the icon font is available under SIL OFL.

See https://github.com/nebulon42/osmic.

Most notable changes:

• reorganisation (removed halos and shielded versions)
• Python export script for SVG, PNG, sprites and icon font - which also can add padding, halos, shields, colours etc.
• added icon font of Osmic

I’m happy to announce the availability of the first release 0.1 of Osmic (OSM Icons). Osmic is a collection of 100+ clean high quality SVG icons optimised for small sizes. The icons are licensed under Public Domain (or CC0).

Over the last few months many of the available icons already found their way into the standard OSM map style leading to a crisper display of POIs. Thank you to all the people at osm-carto who helped in this process. Thank you for critique, discussion, ideas and improvement suggestions.

Credit goes also to those who inspired these icons, most notably Mapbox’ Maki, twain47’s Open-SVG-Map-Icons and HOT’s Maki extension called Nori.

How are these icons different from Maki?
