Hi, I'm looking for a dedicated software, like Mapertive for instance, which can directly connect to an OSM-api like (not xAPI, not overpass, just the 0.6 original one) and render data statically (png, pdf...) according to a MapCSS stylesheet in a given bounding box... like JOSM actually do when downloading data.
I don't know if such an integrated and fully user-friendly solution actually exists. The need comes from one of my customer's projects and users just want to interact with a GUI (seems legit). Maperitive may not satisfy them completely because of its CLI and the need to separately download data before rendering them with a style sheet. TileMill would be another strong candidate but it can't directly connect to the original OSM API. Maybe there are other apps I haven't tryed or even knew before. They are working on a custom DB and only the API is conform to the OSM specs. It would be great to don't have to setup a custom overpass or another API than the original one for the sack of maintenance simplicity. The OSM API is there as for allowing them to transparently use some client-side OSM software but there isn't a geospatial DB behind the scene at all, thus they just can't use any of the server-side OSM toolchain component. Don't hesitate to let me know how do you feel regarding these interoperability questions. *François Lacombe* francois dot lacombe At telecom-bretagne dot eu http://www.infos-reseaux.com
