I want to select some layers from OSM and create a personalized map with them. Basically I want to create a railway map similar to openrailwaymap.org but editing some things so that it appears how I want it. The map is going to be really large because it will span a full country. To be more clear, I want to select a specific type of rail and only show that in the map (along with borders, mountains, rivers, etc). I don't have much experience with programming so I was wondering if there was a way to do this using a computer program or a web app. |

If you want to create your own layer on top of the OSM layers and shared after. There are online tools like uMap that will let you do what you want. You can work with the online editor provided or work in an offline OSM editor like JOSM, save your railway layer in a .osm file and upload it to uMap. Please don't upload your layer directly to OSM. met. |
