Hi. I’m interested in possibly testing some improvements to OSM’s rendered “GPS Traces” layer, served from gps.tile.openstreetmap.org. I’ve searched for the source code or project page but can’t find anything.
Apparently, it used to be provided by mapbox? Is that still the case? Can I run this service locally somehow in the same way I might another renderer stack like Carto?
Source code should be:
https://github.com/openstreetmap/gpx-updater
https://github.com/e-n-f/datamaps
https://github.com/openstreetmap/chef/tree/master/cookbooks/gps-tile
Looks like all is hosted on openstreetmap.org, no Mapbox involved. You probably need to figure out yourself how to run this locally.
Is it me, or the GPS tile layer is rendered using really old data? I’ve been uploading GPS traces to OSM for years, yet they don’t seem to show up there.
It’s you.
The layer renders properly with the latest traces added.
