I am looking for something which allows combination with local data asked 22 Nov '10, 14:48 Garthanos |
Stamen has hybrid tiles for labels, but not sure about usage http://c.sm.mapstack.stamen.com/toner-hybrid/{z}/{x}/{y}.png answered 19 Jul '14, 18:45 Digitalctn |
OpenStreetMap does not create or collect aerial imagery and therefore can't offer a hybrid view. You can however use aerial imagery from other sources (e.g. landsat) and overlay OpenStreetmap Data as a label layer. answered 22 Nov '10, 18:57 petschge Exactly I am looking for tilesets of labelling rendered ie pngs with transparency (google maps uses 8bit pngs but I suspect that requires rather specific design to look decent though its also fastest) - similar to Tiles at home perhaps but with transparency. I think it would be a tileset with wide ranging appeal for people who do have there own aerial photos and similar things.

I'm not sure if such a tileset is available ready made. But it's easy to either strip out the background color from mapnik tiles using a suitable proxy or to set up a own mapnik renderer and setting the background color to transparent there.

If you have your own aerial photography with a suitable licence, OSM would be very pleased to hear from you.

This page uses overlays, for tiles with just labels (in a variety of languages): http://toolserver.org/~osm/locale/

OSM transparent tiles were in http://t3-overlay.hypercube.telascience.org/tiles/1.0.0/osm-merc-google-hybrid, but this seems to be no more. If you find one, let us know also.

Andrew Harvey has made some progress with something like that. He doesn't run a server with his style though:
