OSM History

The history service creates animated GIF images that depict how OSM coverage of an area has changed over time. It does so by painting a dot on a map for each node, using old planet files for past data. (It doesn't draw lines for segments and ways, which means that zoomed-in inner city views look a bit thin sometimes.) You can control some aspects of image generation, like the background image to be used or what time range you want depicted.

Computation is too time-consuming to offer this as a live service, but you can request images to be created and then view or download them once they are ready (the list below should give an indication how many requests are waiting and also how long other requests took to complete).

You can browse past results below. If you request a new image, it will show up in the list after some time. This service is mainly intended for people to generate images, then download and use them e.g. in presentations. I will probably delete old images from this server from time to time.
