Hello, I'm looking to make a map of the city of Bergerac in France. The problem is that when I select the area I want to download and I click on the download. On the pdf file, the names of the streets do not appear. How to do ? Have a good day asked 26 Jun '17, 15:23  DordognesudTeam |

When you click the "share" icon to export a PDF of an area, the level of detail selected by default is that which you currently see on screen. If you zoom out far enough to see all of Bergerac, you don't see street names on the screen, so the suggested output scale will not show street names either. You can try to set a lower output scale but you'd need to get as low as about 10,000 to see street names, and if the area is too large the system won't let you. There used to be a good web service that created large maps, called MapOSMatic, but that is currently not running. It is, however, available in a "vagrant" package here https://github.com/hholzgra/maposmatic-vagrant and you could install and run that with relative ease, using the data from http://download.geofabrik.de/europe/france/aquitaine-latest.osm.pbf. Another alternative to MapOSMatic for high-resolution outputs is http://printmaps-osm.de:8080/ which requires that you install a command line client to talk to the server (but you don't have to install a database or load data on your own machine). It covers France but the instructions are in German only. answered 26 Jun '17, 22:42  Frederik Ramm ♦ |
Hi, have a look here https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Rendering but remember OSM is just a datafile. The renderer, you for instance, could build a map out of it. The advantage is that you can maintain the file and add special items yourself as well. Or you could use one of the numerous services build on the OSM datafiles, https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/List_of_OSM-based_services. answered 26 Jun '17, 21:32  Hendrikklaas |
Where are you downloading the file from?
