Hi everybody, My name is Daniel Gilbert, I am 22 years old and I am currently working on an offline routing tool for windows. Well, to be honest, I am still at the beginning. The idea has grown over weeks and months, and now I am somehow stuck. I'm wondering how I can create a tile from the raw data. I plan to use the same scheme like Osmrender or Mapnik do (this "z/x/y.png" thingy...).
But how do I know which ways or nodes are in the tile "15/17192/10659.png"? Well, I took a closer look at the database scheme and noticed the "tile" column in the "ways" table. After reading a (er, no, THE) German OpenStreetMap - book, I came across this little article on the wiki: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Quadtile As one might see, there are lots of "FIXME"'s and unfortunately no information about how the conversion is done at the moment. Can anyone explain the usage of this field and how the information is stored? Greetings, Daniel P.s.: Sorry for my poor english, but I'm not a native speaker. And btw this is my first post on a mailinglist, so I'm somehow excited... :) _______________________________________________ dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/dev
