Contour Lines Only Overlay?

[bubendorf]

Hi everybody

is there a tile server somewhere which provides the contour lines only?
I found some tile servers with contour lines, but they all also include hill shading.
I only want to have the contour lines!

Many thanks
Markus

Openpistemap have a contour lines layer, but the server that host the contour tiles is currently broken.
Hikebikemap have a contour lines layer, but only for some areas.

You could check:

Thanks.
I know these lists and servers. But none of them provides data for the Switzerland / Germany area.

Could vector maps with contour lines and a special theme which renders only the contour lines be an alternative for you?

That would be better than nothing.
At the moment I use my own *.osm file. I live in Switzerland near to the French and German borders. None of the maps (CH, D, or F) cover the area were I'm usually active. So I decided to create my own file with the area I need.
An overlay would be better cause I can use that with any map. My own and all the others.
And, I don't have to fiddle with all that map generating process. That allways takes hours.

Don't know if you want to download it.

Some WMS Layers (didn't check the coverage):

If you already have a osm file with contour lines, why don't create the tiles? You are halfway there. And you could share them. They shouldn't be that big as sqlite when the rest is transparent, and they don't change that often.

i will share the vector map of switzerland with contour lines here viewtopic.php?f=43&t=1839 in few moments... so you can download and use it.

Aside the vector map, http://openmapsurfer.uni-hd.de/ have contour lines as layer for zoom 13-17 and a quick check showed them in france.

See http://openmapsurfer.uni-hd.de/contact.html for terms of use and tile url configuration.

They also have a shade layer, but the terms of use dont look so good for redistribution.

The server is quite fast here...
