Hi I'm nearly done putting together my Rendering Stack. It makes the complete chain from the osm (x)api to the final map accessible via very easy commands:
osm-load --bbox 8.2011,49.9649,8.3278,50.0327 osm-render --bbox 8.2011,49.9649,8.3278,50.0327 without loosing too much possibilities: osm-load --bbox 8.2011,49.9649,8.3278,50.0327 --custom-api \ http://api06.dev.openstreetmap.org/api/0.6/map?bbox=%s osm-load --bbox 8.2011,49.9649,8.3278,50.0327 --file germany.osm.bz2 osm-render --bbox 8.2011,49.9649,8.3278,50.0327 --type pdf \ --file mainz --size 8192x4096 osm-render --bbox 8.2011,49.9649,8.3278,50.0327 --type png \ --size 16384x8192 --style styles/thinline.xml Atm I'm still writing the documentation, usage guides for windows and linux (mac could/will maybe be added later) so that this set of tools will hopefully be usable by not-technicians, e.g. by designers that wish to make maps for printing. The complete system, from a mapnik svn build via postgresql to the osm-mpnik-stylesheet is packed into a VirtualBox Harddisk image of ~3.2 GB. Maybe this could be reduced but I don't think it will get below 3 GB. So now I'm unsure how to distribute it. For the first run I'm going to make a Torrent from it and distribute it via my local 6 MBit DSL line, but this is not the best solution for not-technicians. A HTTP or FTP Download-Link would be better. Any one any idea?
