Hello, I'm wondering if I can use OpenStreetMap to create a map of bike-friendly roads near my house. Essentially, the equivalent of printing out a giant paper map, grabbing a red, yellow, and green highlighter, and then highlighting each road on the map as follows red: unfriendly to road bikes (high speed limit, narrow shoulder, or poor pavement) yellow: sort of friendly to road bikes green: super friendly to road bikes (low speed limit, wide shoulder, with great pavement) Maybe create my own custom layer on Open Street maps ? -Chad asked 05 Jul '16, 21:09  cburkins |
One Answer:
You can't create a custom layer on OpenStreetMap. However you can view a bicycle map on OpenCycleMap, but it does not highlight hills. You could download a map of your city with Mapzen and then use QGIS to create your own map how you like it. The data may not be extensive enough for your needs however. answered 05 Jul '16, 21:57  Longhorn256 |
