Hi All, I think I followed the directions here http://switch2osm.org/serving-tiles/building-a-tile-server-from-packages/ to create my own tiles on my own Ubuntu server. I chose to only download the Northeastern part of the U.S for my local tile data. I would like to have a map application to view the data, and another application running on my server that generates points in some file format, I think, to be displayed on the map. Is there a way of generating that point data in such a way that it can be imported in real-time into my local postgresql/postgis database and be automatically displayed when the user looks at an area where those points have been uploaded? I have read briefly about osmosis and osm2pgsql for importing data into the OSM database, but I don't know if those work on my own local tile server, and I don't think they are intended for real-time execution.
The only way I can conceive of is for my other application to generate .kml files, and then the map application would use OpenLayers to load those files by looking in a predefined directory on the server. I would also like to timetag the data in order to provide the user with a way to look at the points at various times. I guess this would require the data to be stored in the database with a time-tag of some kind. Thanks, Dave Welchons
