sftp-based upload has some low error rate. As a result, some tiles are not updated on the site, and will only be updated if and when a change in the tile happens.

rsync enables checksum-based sync between a local and a remote computers.

Could you add a description about how to use osm.org.il tiles under marble ?

This have the description and the necessary files to use osm.org.il tiles in marble.

How many people actually print out maps and use the New Israel Grid anymore?
IMO just another cluttering element.

Can also allow showing names of important places otherwise not shown, such as places of worship.

Use light gray fill

Prevent labels from overlapping
Very apparent in lower zooms.

Moved, please delete

Use darker grey and/or emphasize the contour.

For example, http://israelhiking.osm.org.il/#/14/31.1456/34.8180

Re-arrange according to the Israel Hiking directory structure

Border rendered same the outer border

Avoid overiding the user's preferred OSM editor by removing "?editor=id" from the URL created by the "Edit this map using OSM" button.

By the way, iD is anyway the default editor unless the user has explicitly chosen a different editor in the profile.

Can you please add instructions for routable Garmin map?
There are instructions for and automatic tools for general OSM maps.
They need some adaptions to generate maps from the hiking map.
Thanks
Moshe

I'm not sure how relevant the feature is, but currently this map is not accessible to tourists.
making English tiles or English labels tiles would help in this direction.

Please reconsider removing the clutter from lower zooms. Especially in densely mapped areas like the Jerusalem corridor it just looks bad and obstructs useful map info..
You can restrict spring names to higher zooms.

Moved, how do I delete this thing?

Intentional or glitch?

The route here has the color red, not black and blue:
http://israelhiking.osm.org.il/#/?s=NWTb1GVg3e

Currently, the tile generation process takes more than 24 hours.
Internally, it is separated into 4 phases:

1. Israel Hiking tiles for zoom levels 7-15
2. Trails overlay tiles
3. Israel Hiking tiles for zoom level 16
4. MTB Israel tiles

According to This Maperitive discussion, multiple Maperitive installations can be used to run multiple instances in parallel.

E.G. Route 6
Could be less repetitive to improve visibility

Hi,

Would be very useful to add those. Much like OCM does.

For example water hole.
Make sure to show text for place of worship since they do not get written today.

What's the appropriate translation of mtb:scale=3 - "expert"?

When Maperitive crashes or aborted during tile generation, there could be newly generated tiles that were not uploaded and potentially will not be re-generated. There could also be tile zip files that were not completely uploaded.

Before generating tiles, and before potentially downloading new OSM data, the build script should resume uncompleted tile zip file uploads and scan for new tiles without a zip file. Scanning for tiles should be based on the list of already created tile zip files.

New colors on the ground and officially

Forest and nature reserve names should not be fragmented if these relations contain several areas. If this can't be solved I would lose forest names altogether. These are official KKL names based on nearest settlement names and nobody uses them in real life anyway.

Avoid clutter such as for שמורת טבע חרבת דרכמון

Work around Maperitive limitation by running a Maperipy script that will copy the files from the Map instalation directories to the Maperitive installation directories

So, we have routing but it looks weird now since the bike routing can go through footway (.....) if it doesn't have a bicycle=no tag (which is possible according to OSM footway wiki).
Should we render footway (......) only for highway=footway AND bicycle=no?

Add some kind stripped blue area to seasonally water areas.

There are several tags that are important to MTBikers which are missing fro the map.
Especially important to tourists planning a bikepacking or touring trip of Israel.
Those are bike shops, water points, food shops and restaurants, gas stations and hotels.
The opencyclemap is a popular map to consult regarding these.

Like in the MTB map, farmland should be treated just like farm.

Checkered appearance of fields indicate that not all tiles are updated at once.

Meadows in Israel look more like scrub than like farmland. The current texture might be misleading.

0 m contour line appears offshore.
Not on Israel MTB map

When there is a substantial presence.

For example:

This Icon does not appear in the legend.
I think we should use the positive instead of the negative (or if you find a better icon even better), I thought it was a cable-cart...

Use either ruins or archaeological icon for historical tombs (or use a different icon, which ever you think fits).
See here:
http://israelhiking.osm.org.il/#/15/32.6398/35.0684

Ancient burial cave was marked as archaeological site instead of historic tomb (which I think fit better to what is there).

For example, bridge=suspension at http://israelhiking.osm.org.il/#/16/31.2207/34.5226

Check this out:
http://osm.org.il/IsraelHiking/#/16/32.8962/35.6186?baselayer=Israel_Hiking_Map&markers=&Route_1=
Looks like two lines are rendered instead of one.
This looks OK when trying to edit, not sure if the map is just not up to date...?

split as requested.

In order to prevent copying of files from one location to the other the js file should be created in the same directory as the tiles. The site will use that directory the same way it uses the tiles.

The altitude lines sometimes look not so accurate:

See this example when specific altitude line override itself:
http://israelhiking.osm.org.il/#/?s=Vy0HEO9TDR

File is not under the downloaded master file.
I downloaded it from here
I followed the path change instructions and created a copy under \mapsources. I can't see "Israel Hiking" on MOBAC.
[MOBAC 2.0.0 beta 1, build 2289]

Generation of contours, hill shading

These are areas you want to avoid. Currently very subtle light grey.
I like the way Thunderforest Outdoors renders them.
