osmviews

OSMViews

World-wide ranking of geographic locations based on OpenStreetMap tile logs. Updated weekly. Aggregated over the past 52 weeks to smoothen seasonal effects. For any location on the planet, up to ~150m/z18 resolution.

Code repository

• cmd/webserver is the OSMViews webserver.
• cmd/osmviews-builder is the pipeline that computes the data.

Client libraries are maintained in separate repositories. For Python, see brawer/osmviews-py.

Roadmap to 1.0

• Write documentation for the Python client.

• Write documentation for the backend pipeline. Document the tricks we use to process such a large dataset on a single machine in reasonable time.

• Improve the server homepage, display the histogram whose data already gets computed.

• Implement the OpenGIS WMTS protocol in the webserver.

• Extend the webserver homepage to display a heatmap. Currently, users can already point QGIS or another GIS to our GeoTIFF file, but not many people know how to do this.
