[mapserver-users] Re: OSM renderer with MapServer (christopher.schmidt at nokia.com)

[Rahkonen Jukka]

Hi,

The Windows version of osm2pgsql does not find automatically proj4 libraries which are needed for doing import with -l switch or with -E switch. For making these switches to work user should install proj4 in some way and set an environment variable to point to that location. Too tricky, so I would suggest Windows users to import with the default projection 900913. The data can be rather fast reprojected afterwards inside PostGIS, if needed.

Windows is also lacking the preprocessor that is needed to build up the final mapfile if user is following the cookbook by Thomas. Perhaps there could be also a ready compiled mapfile available for Windows users for a quicker start?

The document needs to be updated. You should either update the
mapfiles and change "using srid=4326" to "using srid=900913", or
reimport the osm data in lonlat format (osm2pgsql -l switch).
regards,
thomas

>> Is there anyone working on a MapServer mapfile(s) to renderer OpenStreetMap data in the U.S.?  I?m interested in creating a mapfile that displays nice cartographic map for the roads and uses highway shields for the labels.  Ultimately turning this into a TMS using tilecache.  Or would people recommend sticking with Mapnik?s stylesheets to render the data into images?  I did a few searches and only came across this.  http://code.google.com/p/mapserver-utils/source/browse/trunk  I?m new to OSM data so just starting to explore options.
