Hello Kim, That is some project you have there!
First of all, everything is possible with geoserver and geowebcache. It all depends on the size and scale of your project: - How many users will you be serving? - How big a geographic area will you provide? A single machine easily becomes overloaded, don't expect lightning fast performance.. 2015-01-28 17:14 GMT+01:00 Kim Jansen <k...@isin.nl>: > Maybe I needed to add a little more info what I'd like to set up before > someone can help and think along. > > I'll be using OpenLayers and CesiumJS to present the maps/layers. > > 1.)

You can choose between a variety of importers; imposm and osm2pgsql are solutions that shouldn't take to much time to set up. What triggers me is "a different style than standard". As a cartographer, I know that can be a huge time consumer. I have done a lot of SLD styling myself and can tell you from experience, it keeps you occupied. Are you really sure that is what you want to do yourself? Or would getting an account at mapbox, cartodb or maybe http://www.thunderforest.com/ solve your problems? > - Plan to use PostgreSQL database on Windows 8.1 64b with PostGIS > (- the 'basemap' may be delivered via a small cache managed by GeoWebCache) Shouldn't be a problem, but depends on the geographical size of your interest area. > > 2.)
