What Every Print Is Made From

Last updated

The map

Every mountain is drawn from OpenStreetMap data, © OpenStreetMap contributors, available under the Open Database License. Each print is a produced work and carries this credit in its margin. Searches go through Nominatim, run by the OpenStreetMap Foundation; surveys come from the Overpass API at overpass-api.de, with VK Maps' public instance as the fallback.

The ground

Heights, relief and contours come from the AWS Terrain Tiles on the Registry of Open Data on AWS, as their attribution document asks to be credited:

The full list is kept in sources.json, with each mountain's published figure, the page it was read on and the day.

The faces

Overpass and Overpass Mono, drawn after the Highway Gothic of North American road signs by Delve Withrington, Dave Bailey and Thomas Jockin for Red Hat, under the SIL Open Font License, served from our own pages through Fontsource.

The measuring

Lengths on the ellipsoid follow Vincenty's method, checked in our tests against Charles Karney's geodesic test set to within a millimetre.
