The POIs are not fix. They are variying according to the users request. Therefore I have to render the map on the fly.
There are two kinds of usage: First the map is displayed on a webpage. For this case openlayers is a good solution. Combining google or osm layers with my own data works fine. But the problem is the second case. I need a simple image which can be rendered and inserted automatically into a pdf file. Is it possible?
