[mapserver-users] Using OSM with our own data

[Matt McClelland]

Hi Nico

I have done the same thing.  Using OSM data as a base layer (in a DB) and
then have added extra layers to the mapserver-utils mapfile.  It worked
fine for me.

I got had trouble at one point as I was not using the PROJECTION tag in the
layer.  This fixed the issue for me.

Can I suggest you start with a very simple layer to just get it started,
then build it up from there.  If you copy and paste a large lot in I have
found it easy to get lost and hard to find/fix any issues.
You can refer to many different map data sources as you need.

Matt  :)
