Hi, I'm currently rendering Esri shape files containing the area of Germany from zoom level 0 to 17. The result should be tiles like OpenStreetMap, but I use other data...
The computer is now rendering from zoom level 0 to 16 more than a week... and its still not ready.. I renderd the same area with an OSM dump from a PostGIS database within 60 hours (this time meets my requirements). I guess for my data a spatial index is necessary for rendering. Some files are 800 GB big. For all of this files I have an shx-index file, but test didn't show any difference between rendering with mapnik with or without those shx files. I'm not sure about that, but it seems to me that mapnik doesn't use them. What would you suggest? Maybe importing those files to PostGIS? Or would you recommend to use other databases with spatial indexes that are good supported by Mapnik? Thx, Sisyphos _______________________________________________ Mapnik-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/mapnik-users
