Re: [OSM-talk] Android program with a custom map style
Hello Mateusz, I am looking for an Android application that has bicycle-focused map style available offline. I am looking for features like - ability to distinguish road based on surface (=sand =dirt =asphalt should be easy to distinguish) - oneway arrows displayed based also on oneway:bicycle, cycleway=opposite, cycleway=opposite_lane tags, not only oneway tag - displaying bicycle routes - displaying detailed info about ferries across rivers (at least fee, opening_hours, seasonal and description tags) I am not expecting that application like this exists and I checked https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Android_applications You can use libosmscout (http://libosmscout.sourceforge.net/), which is a C++ framework/library for writing application using rendering, location lookup, routing, which should allow you to do most of the above. Challenge: C++ under Android can be tricky, if you not use Qt (which is supported) and it is a framework, so you have to write your own application based on the libosmscout APIs around it. -- Gruß...

Re: [OSM-talk] Is there a OSM map viewer program to dynamically view OSM data?
Hello Wuzzy, I was wondering if there is some standalone application (preferable for PC) to view OSM data as a map, but dynamically and locally (not from some random computer on the Internet) rendered. [...] What I want is an application which renders OSM data directly and based on configurable user settings, i.e. switching on and off certain features (like country borders) is as simple as clicking a checkbox. You build such a tool with libosmscout (libosmscout.sf.net). It is designed for offline mobile rendering, routing and location search. But of course desktop application can also be build :-) Libosmscout allows you to generate a (local) database from a given *.osm.pbf file with a user definable content. You can then render the data in a map using a custom style which can render any subset of the data contained in the database. It would also allow you to modify the style sheet dynamically (at least this can be very easily added). The current demo however only shows the main base features so this is not yet part of the demo, but a proof of concept should be very easy and quick to achieve. -- Gruß...

Re: [OSM-talk] Map and Programm for Offline
Hello! i search a programm which can see offline the maps and can calculate a route on my netbook. I use Gentoo Linux. I have installed navit, but the routing only with GPS Connectivity. Know someone the programm Geologger for Symbian? Which maps i can use with it. I need Germany, French, Spain (best as europe all together) and North Africa. libosmscout is a library that offer such features (offline map drawing and offline routing calculation). There are demo applications, but no ready to use applications. Depending on your (not specified in detail) requirements this is what you want...or not. -- Gruß...

Re: [OSM-talk] Custom rendering of a small map
Hello! > I'm interested in this, too, because I want to draw OSM data in my car > computer as a sort of GPS satnav/realtime editor. See libosmscout.sf.net. It is designed as a library for offline map drawing (however not editing) in mobile devices. It is a renderer (and router) optimized for minimum data size and speed. > Dane (of Mapnik fame) suggested I use Mapnik with the OSM data plugin. > That cuts out the majority of the setup time due to PostGIS install > and import of OSM data. Since libosmsocut uses cairo internally and cairo has SVG export this would should work with it, too. But I assume it needs some more time to get the required drawing quality to be usable for generating printable maps (but it is already worth a try :-)). -- Gruß...

[OSM-talk] Request for help: libosmscout
Hello! I'm still looking for people interested in helping me with further development libosmscout (http://libosmscout.sf.net). The library steadily improves, but more people could simply get more work done faster ;-) libosmscout is a C++ library, that implements offline map drawing and routing based on OSM data. It does this by import an existing *.osm file and generating a binary, plattform independent file based database and offering an high level API on top of this database. The main target group of the library are people that are interested in developing applications based on OSM and that do not want to directly access available data using existing online APIs. Such applications of course also include offline navigation software but of course other, more specialized applications are possible. Recent discussions with interested people however have shown that libosmscout has a much broader target group. Since the library consists of separate components for import, dataaccess, routing and map drawing, other usage senarios are also possible and I'm also looking for people that want to improve libosmscout in that direction: * Generating stylable (paper) maps * Using it as a small desktop local caching tile server with very light infrastructure requirements. * Using it to tests and compare different routing alogrithm (that can share pre- and postprocessing and thus safe the developer the hassle to fiddle around with *.osm file format and generating a good textual routing description). * Use the internal data structures and map drawing for online-data API based map drawing * Statistical analysis and data test suite libosmscout currently depends on libxml and libcairo (, but even that could be abstracted ;-)) and thus should work on various platforms. If you are interested take a look at libosmscout.sf.net for further details (and a video) or simply contact me. -- Gruß...
