I am trying to find a way of obtaining OSM data (read only) for use in an application for providing additional information on top of a pre-rendered map (e.g. display of locations of pubs, shops etc. as selected by the user). There seem to be quite a few ways to do this:
1. The main OSM API (but it is a shame to use that server for a read only application?). 2. XAPI (looks promising but I think the servers are ill at the moment - I like the idea of having an appeal for a new one if necessary!). 3. TRAPI (this looks like a neat idea, but is not clear to me whether there are any working servers, or if this is just a concept?). 4. ROMA (Sounds similar to TRAPI, but again I do not know if there are any servers) 5. TileDataServer (I think that TRAPI is an extension of this). Can anyone advise me on whether there are working servers for 3, 4 and 5 above please? The other thing I was thinking about was setting up a little XAPI server to play with myself, but I am struggling to work out how to install it on my computer (I know nothing about GT.M...) Can anyone point me to some instructions please? Graham. -- Dr. Graham Jones Hartlepool, UK email: [email protected]
