BBBike Tools

BBBike application

BBBike is a route planner for cyclists in Berlin. Thanks to the OpenStreetMap project, it is now available for many other cities around the world!

Get the full power of BBBike and download the standalone Perl/Tk version:

• For FreeBSD, Debian and Windows: download the binaries and the data for other cities. Note: you need BBBike 3.18-DEVEL or later to run BBBike @ World!

  Extract the data:                  tar xfz data-osm.tgz
  Start BBBike with your city:       bbbike -datadir data-osm/Copenhagen
  

BBBike tile server

We run our own tile server. You can view the BBBike map of Berlin like OpenStreetMap or Google Maps: mc.bbbike.org/osm

The map is available in the standard Mapnik style or in the German Mapnik style. There is also a layer for street quality (smoothness).

Map Compare

Map Compare shows you different maps from OpenStreetMap, Google and other providers side by side. Use the drop-down menus above the maps to choose the map type for each map. You can move and zoom any map as usual, and the other maps will follow. Hold down the Shift key and drag with the mouse to zoom in to an area.

The original Map Compare was written by Geofabrik. This newer version of Map Compare supports up to 52 maps on the screen and a fullscreen mode.

OpenStreetMap extract service

The extract service allows you to extract areas from planet.osm. The maximum area is 24 million km². The maximum file size depends on the format (128 MB to 1,500 MB).

planet.osm mirror

The BBBike download site offers the full OpenStreetMap planet in Protocol Buffer Binary Format (PBF), updated daily. Extracts of more than 200 cities and regions worldwide are also available.
