Hello, I am working on a student project (team of 6 people) whose goal is to build a solution allowing mobile devices to display indoor data along with wifi geopositioning. (I am willing citing this because contrary to http://www.micello.com or http://www.aws.cit.ie/mapume/ who we just found about, we want to have something fully open source/free software). As part of this project, we have decided to use the openstreetmap server software technology.
Someone at University of Calford (UK) did the same as us and managed to draw into a self-hosted openstreetmap server, the inside of some campus's bookstore. See here : http://www.ja.net/development/network-access/location-awareness/investigations-la.html<= B2. Interactive Maps = http://www.ja.net/documents/development/network-access/location-awareness/investigations/B2-interactive-maps-2.pdf "@page 14 (or 270 in page footers) "What worked well was the fact that whilst OpenStreetMap is intended for outdoor maps it can be made to work equally well for indoor maps. The interactive server can be configured to provide further zoom levels to display the resolution required for indoor maps. The provision of interactive elements can then be achieved by editing the PostGIS database to include additional objects, which can then be rendered by the mapnik renderer. Each additional interactive object will require its own unique style to be predefined to ensure that they appear correctly on the portable device." I have put Nigel Linge who I believe is the author of this PDF and paragraph as a recipient of this e-mail too. Could someone tell precisely what config changes need to be done for indoor precision & objects, starting from a regular openstreetmap server setup such as that described on http://weait.com/content/build-your-own-openstreetmap-server ? I basically would like to be able to draw every possible object contained in a building/home/construction. I have started creating a tags draft for indoor which is very limited at : http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features#Proposed_Features_-_Indoor By the way, who would like to collaborate with my team on our indoor self- and objects geopositionning project relying on openstreetmap and java-based mobile applications ? Thanks in advance for your help, Jonathan-David Schröder Student in 5th in embedded systems at ECE Paris, France
