planet coverage of cloudmade's cycle map

[Roman Neumüller-2]

Is there a timeline for the coverage of cycle map for the whole planet?
I noticed that South-East Asia (China, Indonesia and maybe others too)
are still not covered yet... a reason was given on irc: missing SRTM data
and missing Asian fonts...

Last time I looked it was all there.  The roads are drawn, but the names
are rendered as squares for each character unless there is an English
name.

I'm a little confused about this blue square in Korea though:

<http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=35.6&lon=128.13&zoom=8&layers=00B0FTF>

The blue tinge is present at many zoom levels.

I have noticed that sometimes I get a blank map, or blank maps at certain
zoom levels, or blank tiles.  If I refresh, or come back later, it's all
good.

That fonts thing is weird - I fixed that 6 months ago, but it's
unfixed itself in the meantime and I didn't notice. It's now fixed
again, and you can see it already at
http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=34.88&lon=127.89&zoom=6&layers=00B0FTF
It'll take a week for all the old tiles to be refreshed.

As for the missing SRTM data - there's a few places missing, but very
few. Other than that, I'm not sure what you mean by "coverage", since
the whole world has been available on the cycle map for the last 16
months, it's just that the server is very busy and doesn't always
manage to render out-of-the-way places as quickly as I'd want.

Cheers,
Andy

PS: The cycle map is run by me as a hobby; it's not a CloudMade
service, they just sponsor the server.

It's where the coastline shapefile generation has gone wrong: it
thinks that area is sea. Because we use "inverted" coastlines compared
to the main osm/mapnik layer, errors in the coastline through up
different results between the cyclemap and the other mapnik layers.
I'll regenerate them some time soon and see if that fixes it.

Yeah, about 50% of the time the server is too busy serving tiles and
rendering new ones, and can't keep up with demand. It's too popular,
perhaps :-)

Cheers,

It might relieve some of the burden on the cyclemap if there was an alternative physical map available (any volunteers?).
