There's OSM editors that will source imagery over SMB? I've never looked into it, but I'd be surprised. Thinking about this very quickly, my points would be: 1: RAID: I'd want some disk redundancy as the device is likely to be used in tough environments that are far from good sources of replacement disks, or replacement imagery. 2: Software: As already mentioned, you're going to need some software to serve the tiles. WMS? You'd want a device that was easy to get running with third party software. Performance may also be an issue, depending on how many people you were catering for. I hope someone will come along with an example of what they've managed to do before. If not it should be a fun exercise :) Cheers, Joseph On 22 March 2017 at 15:42, john whelan <jwhelan0...@gmail.com> wrote: > Are you looking for information on how to do it?
