Faster map tile updates for mappers isn't the only win. 🌍💚

The #Mapnik improvements also save us around 10kWh of electricity on a typical weekday.

That extra efficiency has also given us enough headroom to postpone hardware upgrades. 🚀

Yes, you can teach an old dog new tricks! 🐕🗺️

Vector tiles may be the new teenager on the block, but our raster maps just got a lot quicker.

Thanks to some impressive #Mapnik rendering performance work by @leijurv Mapnik v4.3.2 is giving OpenStreetMap raster tile rendering a serious boost.

Our tile.osm.org production measurements show around 3× faster generation at several zoom levels, peaking at ~3.5×. 🚀

We have ported Nik4, the Python utility to render map images using #Mapnik by @zverik, to C++ and called it Nik5. #OpenStreetMap

I’m tinkering with #map rendering, and I have to ask … what did everyone move to after #Mapnik?

At least, it seems like Mapnik was at one time the most popular way to render raster tiles. But following its doc/tutorial links now is a maze of:

• Statement: we support XML, Python, and C++
• XML doc: here’s a python snippet to produce/render some XML generated by another python snippet
• Python doc: WARNING this does not work with Mapnick 3.0+ (a seven year old release? did everyone stay on 2.x?)
• C++ doc: there is no C++ doc
• Find more info on LearnToMapnik … which is the page that led me to each of these

If I want to render small tiles of #OpenStreetMap data offline, what tool(s) am I looking for?

#Mapnik, the #OpenStreetMap default layer now renders unpaved roads differently.

It is now visually distinct from other highways, based on the surface=* tags.

Other map renderers, of course, handled this differently.

Surprise, it's #OpenStreetMap! 😅

While trying to verify information, I found a link from a local government website about a district.

Suprised (and disappointed, actually), that it's basically just an embelished #Mapnik map

To their credit, they did attempt to attribute.

I'm having a lot of trouble installing node-#mapnik (and hence kosmtik) on Ubuntu 18.04. The prebuilt binaries are unavailable, and it can't compile. I'm unable to test the #OpenStreetMap-carto style locally... 🙁
Anyone else had this?
