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

[Kent Morrison]

Thanks for the quick feed back.

I've got the map file.. Out sys admin ran it through a preprocessor on a linux machien for me. 

I thought the problem was/is probably a projection issue. I made the chaged all the "using srid=4326" to "using srid=900913" in all the DATA statements and changed all the PROJECTION statements from "init=epsg:4326" to "init=epsg:900913".

Every thing renders perfectly now!

If any windows user needs the map file I can email it to you.

Kent

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).

thomas

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.
