Open Infrastructure Map now has support for `power=circuit` relations, which represent circuits on the power grid. openinframap.org/#7.81/49.979/-0.56… These relations are especially useful for managing longer-distance interconnectors […] [Original post on en.osm.town]

We've recently added the PeeringDB Facility ID property to @wikidata: www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P143… Where this is present, there's also now a link to PeeringDB from datacenter infoboxes on Open Infrastructure Map.

We've just launched a revised design for the map! This adds more consistent symbology, and a few new symbols (including power portals), and better rendering of substation detail. This work was done with the help of @Catalogtree. This is the first phase of the […] [Original post on en.osm.town]

The nighttime lights layer has been updated with data from 2024. The colour scale has changed a bit as the source data format has changed. openinframap.org/#3.22/34.4/35.68/N

The Open Infrastructure Map JOSM style has been updated to render voltages for substations, and handle DC and railway traction frequencies. Find it in the Map Paint Style preferences under Open Infrastructure Map.

The search box has been updated to search the power plants and substations in our database, in addition to the places search from @opencage. (You can also paste lat/lon coordinates in the search box in order to navigate to them.) openinframap.org

The base map on openinframap.org has been updated and is now using the Protomaps basemap schema: docs.protomaps.com/basemaps/downloa… The style has also been extensively tweaked, and it looks a bit more colourful at lower zooms - thoughts/feedback welcome!

Added initial support for showing Osmose power validation issues. These are only visible at zoom level 11 and above, and clicking them is currently a bit tricky due to a Maplibre bug. openinframap.org/#11.8/50.27097/1.9…

New nighttime nights layer! This shows nighttime lights data from NASA's "black marble" dataset collected by the Suomi NPP satellite. The data is from 2023. It should be handy for identifying unmapped power infrastructure. It also looks cool. openinframap.org/#2.57/40.39/5.63/N

The solar generation heatmap layer has been updated to finally take into account power plants which don't have generators mapped. Plant output is (roughly) estimated from area if there is none tagged. The heatmap weightings have been re-calibrated somewhat […] [Original post on en.osm.town]

We're now running MapLibre 5.0.0-pre.3 on openinframap.org, which seems to have fixed the rendering issues we were seeing related to the globe mode. If you spot any other weirdness, please let us know so we can pass any issues upstream.
