I've read on the wiki about the piste:type and piste:difficulty tags, but are they actually rendered on the main site? asked 25 Feb '15, 11:48  LogicalVioli... |
One Answer:
No, currently they are not rendered on the standard layer. But according to the list of OSM-based services there is OpenPisteMap which does show objects with these tags. answered 25 Feb '15, 12:01  scai ♦ showing 5 of 6 show 1 more comments |
There is also OpenSnowMap (http://www.opensnowmap.org/) which enables searching for individual trails. It is highly unlikely that such items will be shown on the Standard style: winter trails often follow paths, tracks and roads and these are already shown.
I like the opensnowmap interface. OpenPisteMap doesnt seem to render the the downhill tracks I added a couple days ago. Opensnowmap rendered them without any issues. I wish this feature could be brought to openstreetmap either as a different layer or part of the standard :(
OpenSnowMap does indeed look nicer.
@LogicalViolinist: There are rather high requirements for tile servers to become part of the layer selection. That's why we have so few of them at the moment. I remember these requirements to be listed somewhere in the wiki but I couldn't find them.
@LogicalViolinist: If it helps, it is possible to make "non-standard" tiles appear on osm.org, although it's far from straightforward. See https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:SomeoneElse/Your_tiles_from_osm.org .
If you are looking for an off line way to see ski trails, there is at least one style for OsmAnd which shows them. I find that useful when actually skiing as I usually have my Android phone with me.
