OSM - OpenStreetMap
OSM processing by TYDAC
The osm ++ maps prepared by TYDAC (WMTS and WMS services) are based on the one hand on OpenStreetMap (OSM), supplemented by (hence ++):
- Copernicus data (EU DEM for relief and contours, Corine for some landuse categoories)
- Open Data of Swiss cantons where available (osm++ alps)
osm++ alps
Data is processed at least quarterly and roughly covers the alpine ridge. In addition to osm europe we supplement:
- Buildings from surveying data where available
- More detailed DEM derived data where available: relief, contours
- swissnames: Swiss local names
Tiles of the WMTS are processed down to a scale of approx. 1: 2'500. Data volume is 420GB.
osm++ europe
The data is at least updated quarterly for almost all of Europe (except North Scandinavia and far east). Some key figures:
- Among other things: 100 million “Places” , 50 million road sections, 25 million polygons (land use), 4 million river sections
- Extracted are about 80 POI categories as well as objects such as individual trees and buildings, for example:
- 850'000 gastronomy companies, restaurants classified according to cuisine (the five most common categories, first and foremost Italian …)
- 175'000 accommodations
- 1.27 million public transport stops
- 1 million park benches
- 7.2 million individual trees
- 50 million buildings
- Last but not least: 80'000 public toilets …
Tiles of the WMTS are processed down to a scale of approx. 1: 5,000. Data volume is 685GB.
Example (Mercator Projection, slightly different zoom levals as in osm alps):
- less details, especially local names
- relief with lower resolution
