 We developed an interactive [https://israelhiking.osm.org.il website]. It provides six maps (basemaps and transparent overlays in 2 languages) based on open data (OSM + SRTM elevation data) and an interface for planning and sharing routes. The maps and interface were developed using open-source code. The development effort is coordinated in a dedicated [https://github.com/IsraelHikingMap GitHub page].

+=== Benefits: ===
 ==== For hikers ====
 Previously, hikers relied on prohibitively-priced government-issued printed maps of hiking paths in Israel. This limited the access of economically disadvantaged populations to nature trails. Now everybody can use the free maps on smartphones or print them out.

 ==== For opensource GIS developers ====
 The open code we generated contains several useful procedures for developers of similar projects. These include identification of GPX sections missing from OSM, merger of identical points of interest in OSM and wikipedia and more.
-We are beginning to migrate to docker and to micro services architecture that would allow micro services we develop to be easily re-used ([https://github.com/IsraelHikingMap/GPSBabelWebAPI|example]).

 The algorithms we developed and documented can be translated to any language needed in order to be used in other places.
 Every operation can be used by API HTTP calls and is documented with swagger. This enables, for example, to use this API to geosearch entities from OSM including relations.

-=== Benefit for bikers ===
+==== For bikers ====
 Our map marks bike paths in cities and safer streets for cycling, and the interface prioritizes these when auto-routing planned bicycle rides. Together these allow cyclists to
 plan safer commuting routes within dense cities in Israel. For the benefit of MTB riders, grading of mountain bike trails and height profiles are also shown.
-=== Benefit for OSM mappers ===
+==== For OSM mappers ====
 The project has allowed unskilled users to easily add data to OSM and Wikipedia by making the update process more accessible and tuned to their needs. It improved mapping coverage significantly in Israel since it began.
