Grosse novità all’orizzonte! Quest’anno dovrebbe essere l’anno in cui su OSM.org arriverà finalmente un layer vettoriale.

    Raster is better for contiguous areas really, lossy compression can be helpful!

    Think height maps, climatology datasets, coasts/land/rivers, deltas/swamps etc

    Vector data and tiles make soo much more sense though for 99% of OSM, kudos on the switch. Will we also see a switch to maplibre I wonder? Or more compatible I do suppose
