Tileset for Sydney Australia

[hamish_b]

Hi,

For anyone interested I just uploaded a map tileset for Sydney Australia
to the SourceForge site. The first I hope of many cities around the world!

https://sourceforge.net/projects/gpsdrive/files/

It's 70mb and generated from OpenStreetMap data (circa this week) and
rendered with the gpsdrive_generate_mapnik.py script via Mapnik and a
PostGIS database.


A working copy of 2.10pre7 with these maps will be handed out on a live-dvd
to many hundreds of attendees at the upcoming Free & Open Source Geospatial
2009 conference in Sydney. Expect to see friendsd go nuts some time around
20 October.

The pgRouting folks will be putting a PostGIS database with OSM data on
the live disc, for the disk I've built gpsdrive with full Mapnik support,
but no OSM database or world_boundaries.shp as they take up too much room.

It would be great if we could link into pgRouting's DB setup, but I really
don't know what I'm doing with that stuff so someone else would need to
coordinate with them to make it happen. It would be *really* good to build
some links between the two projects as well, as they complement each other
very nicely I think.    http://pgrouting.postlbs.org/


enjoy,
Hamish

have you enabled switched on friendsd in the installed gpsdrive-version?

it would be fine, if mapnik could use the data, but afaik pgrouting needs
other tables and data than mapnik...

it should not be too hard, to add a routing module to gpsdrive for someone who
knows pgrouting.
the basic code for routing modules is in the svn for some weeks now, currently
I'm working on the first real routing module using online-routing, which works
fine so far...

I am a bit confused by that, I did not switch if off in
DefineOptions.cmake, but I do not install friendsd.deb.
It was my understanding that that package is if you want to
run the server and is not needed if you are a just a client.
And the DefineOptions.cmake ON/OFF flag is the same, it only
affects the server (friendsd.gpsdrive.de) code.  Is that
correct? I tried quickly to run it yesterday but got some
recv error or so in the terminal. I didn't try very hard though.

I can add a line to gpsdriverc to have it "on" automatically,
but for privacy etc I'm not sure if people would want that
without them knowing.

my install script is here by the way:
https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/browser/livedvd/gisvm/trunk/bin/install_gpsdrive.sh

I really don't have a clue with this stuff, here is their
install setup:
