osmtampabay: New ways to look at OpenStreetMap data. A new Transport layer has been added as a new renderer layer to OSM. The new tiles come courtesy of Andy Allan (of OpenCycleMap) and include things like bike routes, bus routes, subways, rail systems, and train stations. Even though the Tampa Bay Area doesn’t have quite the vibrant public transit systems of some cities, rendering data for custom use-cases like this shows the real power of the detailed data beneath the surface of OSM. It shows the value of adding things like route information, bus stops, and bike paths. You can see from the map that Tampa has pretty decent coverage of route information, while Pinellas has hardly a thing. Let’s get in there and change that!
