I've read through the overview and FAQ, and am quite overwhelmed. I'm not a
GIS person, but rather a software engineer trying to develop a simple
map-generation piece for a telematics system I'm doing.
Basically all I need to do is translate GPS coordinates into a reasonably
scaled map of street/city information (like a road map). The map needs to
be easily integrated into a Web page (I'll be using PHP). My server will be
running Red Hat 8.x (though I might have to start with OS X -- my boss is a
Mac addict).
Where should I start? Where do I get my data? What tools do I need?
Any pointers are appreciated.
