Topographic maps from OSM and SRTM data | |
OpenTopoMap (opentopomap.org) is a project aiming at rendering topographic maps from OSM and SRTM data. The map style is similar to some official German or French topographic maps, such as TK50 or TOP 25.
As of 2024, the project is not currently in active development. Tiles are still available but the maps are not currently being updated with new data. However, there are plans to resume development when time allows. [1] [2]
