This small project is to gather data in the field and render maps on the
spot using a laptop running Windows. The field data will be put into an
SQLite database. I would like OSM maps as a background to give context
to the data the user enters.
I have a Debian-based Mapserver serving WMS/WFS from a PostGIS database
to Openlayers on a website, but I'm finding this offline project more of
a challenge to put the pieces in place. ;)
