Hi, I have a question. I just started working with OHM - and I really like this project ![]()
For one project I want to display some historical years - but want to initially show the current year (2025). Now I am wondering, why the street information (smaller streets in cities) are not shown in OHM. Aren’t they taken from OpenStreetmap? Or is this an extra layer I can add to my custom main.json-style-sheet?
OHM is a completely different database, which was added by OHM users. Some major highways were manually imported from OSM. Which city are you interested in?
I need Germany, as we have many cities with locations on street level. I was wondering if I could get the OSM street layer as vector file and could overlay in my main.json style sheet?
There are some services that offer OSM Vector tiles, maybe you find something here: Vector tiles - OpenStreetMap Wiki
Do you need the whole of Germany or only specific locations? If it is only one city we can maybe do some coordinated mapping.
@Bauer33333 - I will try to find out. But as we have > locations - I guess I need whole Germany. Thank you for the link to the vector tiles page. As I need the whole street map for 2025 only I will check if I can use it from OSM.
By the way: why isn’t the OSM street network just copied to OHM? Is it, because we don’t know when the streets were constructed?
That is one of many reasons. Other reasons include licensing issues, or the shape of a street 10 years ago, etc.
Hi all, I found https://tiles.openfreemap.org/styles/positron which seems to offer the current streetmap.
How can I join parts (streets) inside the general openhistorical main.json?
Do I need to use the same sprite - or can I use a second one only for the street levels?
