@mae i know you can import gpx into umap.openstreetmap.fr but does traewelling export gpx

@mae you could also do a very long process of clicking everything out in brouter and import that into umap (long because it doesn't stick to proper tracks, because the support for rails is half done)

leah, bedrest enjoyer

@jeder with my 35kkm in traewelling checkins alone, that would take a really long time

@mae i probably should insert all my shit i remember into traewelling tbh

@mae @jeder as said before, I’m using OSM relations which works reasonably well though does mean I really lag behind

@maeow @jeder can you teach me how you do that at some point?

Mae

@maeow@meow.woem.cat

@mae @jeder find a fitting relation (not always possible) with the finder tool (sidebar), download the relation (I use overpass and

[out:json];
rel(59065);

out geom;

Export it as gpx/geojson
Open in JOSM or whatever GIS tool you like, and clean the relation up (shorten it & remove platforms (short pieces)), then put them all in a folder/folder structure (I use a two-folder deep structure with type of railway (heavy/light rail, tram, …) and the network (ÖBB/ES/…), then use some script to compile all of them (I use a R GIS package - definitely worth improving) into one geojson (out.geojson), and then use @Gaelan ’s github.com/Gaelan/trainlines to put it online: maebruck.eu/trackmap

@mae @jeder @Gaelan I would like this to do more things, like
- colour lines
- have OpenRailwayMap as a background
- have hovertext, but I’m not enough of a JS/protomaps nerd to figure this out myself

@maeow @Gaelan @mae god i love how popular osm is in poland

@Gaelan @mae @maeow (it's not)

Mae

@maeow@meow.woem.cat

@jeder @Gaelan @mae yeah I’ve definitely stitched stuff together manually in JOSM

Gaelan Steele @Gaelan@cathode.church

@maeow @mae @jeder basically my approach, other tips:
I forget the exact overpass syntax, but you can use bounding-box filters to roughly cut a route down before editing it in another tool (maybe less necessary if you have a geojson/gpx editor less shit than the one I used)
signal.eu.org/osm has a geojson export, often the quickest way to get a specific route through complicated stations etc

Mae

@maeow@meow.woem.cat

@Gaelan @mae @jeder yeah with JOSM it’s quick enough - @mae I can show you on a call sometime how I do it

@Gaelan @mae @maeow signal.eu.org/osm seems to be more working than when i used brouter to manually do stuff lol

leah, bedrest enjoyer

@jeder @maeow @Gaelan thanks for the help! also, lol

@maeow uggh, some of the routes in the us are terrible, getting the right track is very hard. I should probably just not care
