Hi,
I'm trying to figure out if Mapnik can do what I need for a project (I
believe it does, but just wanted to verify).
I wanted to take map data of the planet (the same source as open street maps
uses) and pre render the same tiles just with a different style (different
colors for streets, maybe different fonts for text if that's possible). I'd
like to save all the pre-rendered tiles as png files and serve them out raw
on a server. Something like:
http://www.mysite/com/z/x/y.png
Mapnik can do this? If so, I'm not sure from where I would get the initial
geographic data to feed it. I'd also like to split the tiles up into 64x64
pixel size instead of 256x256, because this will be used for mobile devices.
Any information would be great, I'll continue reading through the wiki but
just was wondering if someone could give me a yes or no quickly.
Another possibility I was thinking of, is if someone/some company already
has Mapnik configured, would they offer as a service, rendering out all the
tiles for me given some sort of Mapnik stylesheeet which defines how I'd
like the tiles to look? That would probably be easier,
Thanks,
Mark
