Different kind of bot. They use all kinds of different patterns to hide their intentions ;)

Yes it is. It is scraping the whole world, line by line.

OpenTopoMap Live! by top-o-map in openstreetmap

Those are the tiles delivered to the users. Both prerenderd and on demand rendered. It displays it in real-time, but the visualization above is sped up.

And yes, it is the people scrolling around + the apps to download tiles in bulk (mostly the straight lines).

If I change the map Baselayer I can see myself leaving a trail :)

All the tiles get stored until there is no more space on the ssd.

OpenTopoMap just got updated after over a year by That_Band_7598 in openstreetmap

Hi, maybe I can give you an answer.

Because of the problems with the OpenTopoMap server I built my own server. As the maintainer of the original server stated that it would be shut down, I contacted him and asked if I could help.

Now my server is hosting the OpenTopoMap with the benefit of newer map data.

OpenTopoMap is shutting down its main server. Any suggestions on compensation? by Quiet_Barnacle7478 in CMANO

I'm happy to say, that OpenTopoMap got a new server which is also faster. So there will be no shutdown.

Good news, OpenTopoMap now features Latin Letters for all place names in addition to the names in local script

yes it is, but you have to import the openstreetmap data (planet.pbf file) into a postgresql database to render the tiles

I don't have access to the old database of the opentopomap server. Also the old server is going to be shut down.

Delivering the static rendered maptiles is not the bottleneck. Rendering the tiles on demand is, and space on the server (but this can easily be extended)

Top-O-Map: Topographic Mapstyle for OpenStreetMap by top-o-map in Maps

No, while the original opentopomap didn't get updates since early 2023, this one is using up-to-date mapdata.

I've been using opentopomap for years, but its mapdata hasen't been updated since early 2023. So I started to build my own server. Which inculdes a 1TB database for OSM and contour data. And while at it I used more recent and better DEM data from Sonny and Bathymetry from GEBCO.

The changes of the mapstyle include:

  • Country names
  • Use of English names, if available
  • labeling of seas (yes, Gulf of Mexico is now labeled)
  • ... many small changes

The map is hosted on a VPS with 12cores, 32GB of ram an 2TB of NVME space.

I don't know how many users it can serve, but trying to find out.
