Thank you for bringing visibility to this important topic!

We are experiencing high traffic and have unfortunately hit Strava’s API rate limit for the day. We’ve requested an upgrade and adjusted some things on our side, but in the meantime, please try back tomorrow (UTC)!

You are right, it turns out these ports are actually USB 3 according to lsusb:

Bus 002 Device 002: ID 0b95:1790 ASIX Electronics Corp. AX88179 Gigabit Ethernet Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub

I guess this means that the upload speed between my living room and AWS’s Ohio data center is limited to about half a gigabit :)

Download speeds of course will vary depending on the quality of your Internet connection. For me, it was a 43 minute download on my home wifi.

@zstadler, I don’t believe there’s a utility to pre-filter a PBF based on an OpenMapTiles yaml mapping, but that’s certainly a cool idea. The definitions I listed in this diary entry represented just the features that I wished to render for testing.

@stephan75 I’m not familiar with gol-tool but I would welcome such a comparison!

There is no communication on progress, status, blockers or anything else.

With regard to the OWG/vector tile effort, there is actually quite a bit of active work going on, it’s just not really apparent from the GitHub tracker. The introduction of planetiler has given us an order of magnitude faster generation of vector tiles over tilemaker and two orders of magnitude faster generation over openmaptiles-tools. However, planetiler is not yet set up to generate vector tiles with arbitrary data schemas; currently it’s only usable as a Java API or it can generate the OpenMapTiles schema out of the box. The OWG would like to experiment with a very simple schema with just a few features as an initial testing step.

Given the speed advantage of planetiler, it makes sense to modify planetiler to be able to input a configuration file that describes the data schema (mapping between OSM elements and mvt tile attributes) as the next step.

This work has been happening here: https://github.com/onthegomap/planetiler/pull/160 https://github.com/onthegomap/planetiler/pull/201 https://github.com/onthegomap/planetiler/pull/190

This is fairly involved work and very performance sensitive. We’ve gone through several rounds of reviews and we expect very soon to have the ability to configure planetiler via configuration file for use cases that aren’t too complicated, with the idea that we can iterate further on functionality.

I added a status update to operations ticket on vector tiles so everyone knows that work is happening :)

There are other map styles out there that are far more welcoming to contributors than osm-carto, and would be happy to add parcel lockers to their map.

Here’s a start: https://github.com/openmaptiles/openmaptiles/pull/1392
