Hi everyone,
I have a question. When I share the “OpenStreetMap” standard map as an SVG, the resulting map is severely incomplete, for example, road lines are missing. How can I fix this?
Thank you!!
Hi and welcome to OSM
Can you provide a link and a screenshot of what you see?
Problems with SVG export have brought a few times now, here for example.
The bottom line seems to be that the SVG format is not a good match for the layering techniques used in the standard map, resulting in excessively complex output from OSM website. PDF is often more reliable, but some components will get turn into rasterised layers.
Various map printing services (see the other questions) use an older version of the rendering library (mapnik), where the SVG output is still usable.
Somewhat ironically, I don’t know of a means to export vector graphics from vector tiles…
