[OC] A map of the backroads in Finland, perfectly captured by OpenStreetMap and visualized with QGIS. This map is a definitive not-a-guide to rally driving in Finland!voracious_villain t1_j64y8x2 wrote
Curious as to the methodology used to extract, use QGIS and OSM every day at work.

I would probably use a website like geofabrik.de to download the OSM extract and then import it into a database with osm2pgrouting. Then use a query layer in QGIS to only get the roads I want.

Doesn't QGIS have plugins for the download part? I remember downloading OSM (and more through ministry of transportation) data when I did something similar

Yeah, you have quickosm. At this scale though I think the request would exceed the allowed limit and at least I’m more comfortable using PostGIS when doing anything related to networks.

Makes sense. For this I'd probably go over to Paituli though. They're a great source for Finnish map/location data. I've used digiroad a ton
