First of all, if you haven’t got it by now. The maps are made from the map data of www.openstreetmap.org So don’t complain about the mapping quality here – but get over to www.openstreetmap.org to add missing attributes, streets, forests, POI and so on. By downloading these maps you should consider uploading your GPS tracks to openstreetmap and/or help out if you find errors or missing data. Everything about openstreetmap can be found at wiki.openstreetmap.org.
My map development started out when I was pissed of about the quality of "Computerteddys" files – which are fine, but not if you like beautiful maps and want them to show the work you put into openstreetmap – especially when it comes to attributes for Mountainbiking. See here –> http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Mountainbike and especially here: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:mtb:scale
I provide these maps in the hope that more people will get out and actually use the mtb:scale key. Openstreetmap gives us the ability to really create mtb focussed maps – like no other map provider has ever done. Because for most people actually compiling maps with custom style-files and using multilevels will be too demanding – you can get them here.
Please note that right now I don’t provide contourlines with the maps. I will at some point offer contourlines to be added to you maps (there is no reason to distribute it as a single package, as it’s easier to have that data seperated, so on updating you maps you don’t need to redownload the contourlines. The big problem is that the only source of data which has good quality also in mountaineous regions (where we need it most) – Jonathan de Ferranti – is not possible to be included due to liscense questions. I will digg Jonathan soon and ask him on solutions.
- Wien Praterstert – pretty nice to see how good Vienna is mapped.
Gibt es irgendwo eine Überischt welche Ausgeschilderten Wege in der Karte Namentlich verzeichnet sind. Also Wege wie der Rothaarsteig, Ruhrtalradweg usw. Oder muss man die einzeln in der Karte finden.

Nein, gibt kein Verzeichnis. Aber du kannst in Mapsource nach Straßen suchen
Hi,
congratulations, there’s an article about Openstreetmap and OpenMTBmap on Wired website:
http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2009/08/gps-hackers
It’s really positive.
Good job!
Ciao

Yeah I just notice that article, my statistics showed quite a lot of clicks coming from that article…..
Also some newspapers (first derstandard.at) started picking up this article and translated it.
Not a major digg, but still thousands of new people seeing this site.
Now it would only need this article on heise.de frontpage…..
servus,
erstmal ein ganz großes DANKE für deine arbeit!!!
dann hätte ich eine frage: gibt es eigentlich eine möglichkeit die straßennamen auszublenden?
Nein, nicht dass ich wuesste
Falls es nochmal jemand ließt. Man Kann das anzeigen der Straßennamen (fuer jeden Straßentyp einzeln) mit Bearbeiten des .TYP Files mit zum Beispiel Maptk ausschalten.
