Park Tiles — Customizing OpenStreetMap Cartography and Infrastructure - Mamata Akella, Jim McAndrew from OpenStreetMap US on Vimeo.

In this presentation, we will give an update on the National Park Service base map, Park Tiles – discussing the set of next generation tools we are using to build the map and how we are combining National Park Service data with OpenStreetMap data to create a custom cartographic product. We will also cover our Places project which uses OpenStreetMap as a web editing platform. The Places project uses custom versions of the OpenStreetMap API and the iD editor to allow for data interoperability and the use of OpenStreetMap tools.
