Hello, I am working on a design/art project by which I seek to distort a map of a certain location by modifying, adding fictional attributes by which api renders a map; street, objects, boundaries? How could I do that ? Thank you, Lukas

(guessing a bit here, because as gormo says the question's not completely clear), but I suspect that you'll need to do the following:
Obviously it's important that you DON'T upload something that doesn't exist back to OSM, but as long as you don't do that, you can edit away to your heart's content. For a brief introduction to how OSM data is structured, I'd start here. The most used OSM offline editor is JOSM. It allows you to edit your local data and overlay the results over different background imagery, so you can compare your "imaginary" places to the real ones. There are several rendering options, one of which is Maperitive. Even if it isn't ideal for you, searching this site for Maperitive will get you a list of answers to previous "how do I render my data" questions. |
Sorry, your question is not very clear. Do you want to draw a fantasy map of some location? Do you want to use real data for a location and make a crazy map (with different colors)?
