Hi everybody.
After quite a long time I am back using mapserver. Seeing how well it is
cabable of rendering OSM data I would like to use it as a background for
the geographical information I would like to display. I followed the
nice howto and now my new Mapserver setup is ready to display a local
stored portion of Openstreetmap OR my own data, not both :-)
The problem, as far as I know, is that I cannot successfully merge the
mapfile I created for my data and the one automatically generated by the
mapserver-utils mapfile generator; if I try to paste the LAYER part
containing my data, it is apparently ignored (and not even wrongly
projected, as far as I can see). Is there any caveat I can be aware of
or, better, is there some other doc explaining the use of OSM data with
other layers?
Hello,
There shouldn't be an issue with using OSM data (or OSM data/mapfile
created through the mapserver-utils
http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/wiki/RenderingOsmDataUbuntu) with your
own data. I know for the FOSS4G Benchmarking exercise we did have to
make some changes to the mapfile, such as making sure each layer has a
proper PROJECTION object, which you should keep in mind as well as you
are mixing data from several data sources.
If it is helpful, the mapfile used in that exercise is available at
http://svn.osgeo.org/osgeo/foss4g/benchmarking/wms/2011/mapserver/osm-google.map
