Thanks for taking the time to explain this so completely. It's stuff like this that is the real power of youtube.
You are brilliant and very kind for sharing, thank you!
OMG, this was what I was looking for!!! Thank youuuuu!!
Man your a legend, thanks for this
Man you’re incredible, much love❤️
big ups for sharing this honestly
This was really helpful
Hey! It is exactly what I was looking for!! Thanks a lot for sharing !
Glad it worked out for you!
Your video was amazing!! Thank you
Thanks man! I was just looking for a way to create maps like this and found this video. I also wanted to find a way to reproduce my results and just started working with maperitve. So I´m looking forward to your next tutorial!
Maperitive is a really great time saver for print maps... Once you get the hang of it's rendering styles it's super useful! Glad you enjoyed the tutorial!
Take a look a this new add-on for Adobe Creative Cloud czcams.com/video/CwSj1ajy8SE/video.html
Thank you so much for your tutorial !
You're welcome!
Awesome!
Thanks !
Can you do a tutorial for maperative or tilemill?
Somehow for me the export from Open Street Map doesn't show up on Illustrator properly, sometimes it doesn't appear at all, only grey squares and other times the writing is corrupted and the streets aren't nearly as detailed as promised
you are amazing. thank you!
You’re welcome!
This video was so helpful, thank you!! Greetings from Germany 😊
Thank you
thank you
Thank you for this tutorial. My Illustrator keeps crashing when I open the SVG file, I think because it contains so much information. Do you have any tips for this?
good idea but can't seem to get the SVG file downloaded to open in Illustrator properly, any ideas?
Hi... when I import the SVG-file in illustrator, the imported map is very small? Like I have to zoom in 3000%?
Is there a program you can buy if you wanted streamline this process to start a business selling maps?
when you mentioned vecotr file, does shapefile (.shp) included?
That was so well explained and helpful, thank you! I've been playing with Snazzy Maps but couldn't get a good resolution for prints. I shall try open street map!
With the original map data coming from open street map, how do you go about selling your prints? Is it allowed?
It’s enough of a derivative I think
Nice description of your process, very interesting ;) - did you ever do the mentioned tutorial about maperative? I cannot find it :D
Hi, shortly after this came out, Adobe added a free vector map plugin to illustrator that made this process outdated - so I left it at this one. Thanks for commenting!
Thank you😭😭
Great tutorial, thanks! But I can't seem to open any map I tried because Illustrator shows me this message: "Clipping will be lost on roundtrip to Tiny
. There are too many nested groups than allowed in Illustrator. The file may not open correctly." And then just opens the map and it's a mess. And I'm not that skilled in Illustrator to find a solution to this. Any help? Has anyone else had this problem? Thanks a bunch.
I've not had that issue, hopefully someone else in the comments has experienced something similar.
I’m having the same issue :( did you managed to find a solution?
Either way, amazing video! :)
yo! you my guy!
I really wish you would do a tutorial on maperitive. It’s so confusing, I’m desperate
when i downloaded as SVG, a popup appeared telling me that 'Clipping will be lost on roundtrip to Tiny' and everything was transparent. I tried raising the properties and width and colour byt nothing worked. I checked if there was a layer covering it or whether it was being hidden.No joy. Any help?
Same here...
@@pedroanjos2160 actually figured it out! Downloaded it as a PDF and then selected to open it via illustrator. Hope this helps!
Me: The perfect gift doesn't exist.........
Also me: Look at all these ❤️
Hey mate are you still going to make a video on how to make the maps with maperative? cheers
Now that the ArcGIS plugin allows you to import and customize maps in illustrator, this workflow is not the best solution anymore.
@@Warfeous okay I see
Would be great to the a maperative tutorial!
I'm still getting the hang of it, odd that it works best on my Linux computer instead of my windows one...
If you use Illustrator or Photoshop - check out this new extension czcams.com/video/CwSj1ajy8SE/video.html
Open street map seems to not want to let me download SVG files right now due to too high server usage. Did you run into this issue? I read on a forum that if the servers are above 25% load the site doesn't generate SVG maps for download or something.
Waited about 20 minutes and I got a download of my city. Thanks a ton for this tutorial!
I had no idea about the server load issue, but that's really great info. You're welcome, it's a handy tool to have in your belt!
Hello my friend,
I'm Mehmet, I want to create a map design and sell it. Is copyright or license required? Thank you,
I’m not sure!
When I open the.SVG file, I only get the picture I see in OpenStreetMap, with only two layers. I do not have the information and the layers and outlines that you get in this video. Did you do something else to get it like this? How did you open the file in illustrator?
Hi Linnea, thanks for your question. If you download an SVG version of the map from OSM, you won't get things organized and labeled in layers, you need to select and organize them yourself (although you can dig through each generated later in the Layers panel in illustrator).
To get something more usable, you need to use an app like Maperitive to export the map to illustrator. Maperitive lets you define the color, strokeweight and visibility of items in the map-allowing for a lot of customization, but it's more technical.
I've got something you'll love - apparently Illustrator users can now use this extension to get vector maps right into Illustrator with no fuss. czcams.com/video/CwSj1ajy8SE/video.html THAT MAKES IT EASY! ;-)
@@Warfeous Hi! Thanks for the answer. What I meant is that I don't get any layers at all when I open the .svg file. Even all the uncategorised layers as you show in your video. So I can not change the font or colours, or anything that you show here.. I wouldn't mind having them unorganised, as long as i can manually go in and change them. I am just making one poster.
Maybe I am doing something wrong? Or OSM have changed their saving methods?
Hi Linnea, I tried this to see what you meant and noticed the SVG versions are raster-based (not editable), but the PDF versions are vector and can be edited. Ask OSM for a PDF version and open that PDF in Illustrator - that'll give you all the layers you are looking for.
Have a great day!
Thanks for the answer. I'll try that out!
And wow, hope that extension works :)
