OSM2World: 3D rendering OpenStreetMap data
<p>The open-source tool <a href="http://osm2world.org/">OSM2World</a> turns OpenStreetMap data into detailed 3D models of the world. This talk presents the current state of the project.</p>
<p>3D visuals are increasingly becoming a standard feature of geospatial applications. Whether you want to explore the world in your browser, build games and virtual reality applications, or export content to modelling software as a starting point for creative projects, you need software tools which fully support the third dimension.</p>
<p>OSM2World makes it possible to generate 3D content for these kinds of applications from freely available OpenStreetMap data. Usable as a library or stand-alone application, it generates seamless outdoor and indoor representations of buildings, displays road and railway networks, and creates models for a large number of other feature types found in OpenStreetMap data. With support for the glTF standard, physically based rendering (PBR) and 3D tiles displayed in the browser using WebGL, models produced by OSM2World serve a wide range of uses.</p>

<p>PyQGIS. A not so well guarded secret in the most popular open-source geospatial system. You struggle doing a thing, and then open this one panel... And turns out, every single thing that you can click on, is available for programmatic calls. Load data, style it and process, prepare layouts for exporting, add panels and interactive modes, even add games using the GIS user interface. Everything.</p> <p>Geospatial is hard. Software is hard. Making a new software for a one-time or an obscure ...

<p>The MapLibre community is currently in the midst of developing the MapLibre Tile Format, a modern, open, and fully community-governed successor to the ubiquitous Mapbox Vector Tile (MVT) format. While MVT has served the mapping ecosystem well for over a decade, it also carries historical constraints that limit interoperability, formal specification quality, extensibility, and independence from proprietary platforms. As MapLibre continues to grow as the central open-source foundation for ...

<p>Boost.Geometry is a C++ library defining concepts, primitives and algorithms for solving geometry problems. It contains a dimension-agnostic, coordinate-system-agnostic and scalable kernel, on top of which algorithms are built: area, distance, convex hull, intersection, within, simplify, transform etc.</p> <p>The library contains instantiable geometry classes, but library users can also use their own legacy geometry types. It also contains spatial index allowing to perform spatial and knn ...

<p><a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/">OpenStreetMap</a> community often seek for tooling to organize topic-focused contribution projects and monitoring is crucial to set appropriate encouragement in the areas were it's most needed. Dealing with significant amount of daily change files or oversized historical data can be challenging if you want to focus on a given topic among the whole OSM changelog like the needle in the haystack. <a href="https://github.com/osm-fr/podoma">Podoma</a> is a ...

<p>This talk presents a FOSS stack for building, rendering, and using OpenStreetMap vector tiles. Ascend Maps ( https://github.com/styluslabs/maps ) is a cross-platform application for interactive maps. It is extremely customizable, with hiking, cycling, and transit views for the base map, user-editable sources, styles, and shaders for custom maps and overlays, and plugins for search, routing, and map sources. </p> <p>tangram-ng ( https://github.com/styluslabs/tangram-ng ) extends the Tangram ES ...
