[mapserver-users] Base map data for WMS
Dear list, Until now I have been using the public Demis, Metacarta, Google Maps services as base map providers in my WMS clients. Since our company creates commercial services, I don't want to be dependent any longer on those because: - availability is never guaranteed - can not use those off-line - license restrictions a la Google Maps prohibits use for closed services So I am keen to start hosting our own base map WMS server containing a good resolution world map to start with. Later local maps for smaller areas can be added. The world map should be something like Demis with layers coastlines, borders, bathymetry, topography, place names, inland waters, main roads and place names. I could buy a WMS server including world map data, e.g. Demis or ArcIMS but I don't really want that. We already use GeoServer and MapServer and would rather add world map data. So I could: 1. buy world map data 2. create world map myself by assembling freely available data (gshhs, etopo, vmap, srtm, ...). I am afraid (2) will cost a lot of time. Regarding (1) I already found world data for sale from DM Solutions and ThinkGeo, are there others? Which is better? There is surprisingly little information on the net about this issue, I guess most people are either using public services or using commercial packages. My question is a general one: I wondered if anybody has encountered the same problem and what solution has been chosen, what data sources when creating a map yourself, other commercial data, what data is better than other, etc. All comments welcome!

RE: [mapserver-users] Base map data for WMS
Reinoud, For this, I'd recommend going with OpenStreetMap data (http://www.openstreetmap.org/). You can either download the whole data set for the world yourself and start building, or you can take mapping services from various suppliers. Check out http://www.switch2osm.org/ for further information. You'll be in good company! Kind regards, Edward -- E.

Re: [mapserver-users] Base map data for WMS
Here http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/wiki/RenderingOsmDataUbuntu you have detailed instructions for how to setup mapserver as a wms server for openstreetmap imagery. As the basemap rendering isn't specially light on server ressources I would recommend using a tile cache and not expose the wms service directly. Mapcache can assemble the cached tiles to serve complete wms getmap requests should some of your clients not support tiled requests (see http://www2.terriscope.fr/geocache/demo/wms for a possible rendering style, you can select the singletile layer for untiled getmap requests). -- thomas On Wed, Mar 7, 2012 at 09:29, Reinoud Bokhorst reinoud.bokho...@bmtargoss.com wrote: Dear list, Until now I have been using the public Demis, Metacarta, Google Maps services as base map providers in my WMS clients.

Hi, A bit outdated but still super easy way for having a try on Windows http://latuviitta.org/documents/Super_easy_WMS_server.pdf Package is combined from MS4W and mapfiles by Thomas Bonfort. Package will be much better when everything is ready for updating it to contain super fast Spatialite support (exists already in GDAL trunk and seems to make Spatilite faster that PostGIS), preconfigured MapCache and georeferenced PDF output. -Jukka Rahkonen- -Alkuperäinen viesti- Lähettäjä: mapserver-users-boun...@lists.osgeo.org [mailto:mapserver-users-boun...@lists.osgeo.org] Puolesta thomas bonfort Lähetetty: 7. maaliskuuta 2012 11:16 Vastaanottaja: Reinoud Bokhorst Kopio: mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org Aihe: Re: [mapserver-users] Base map data for WMS Here http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/wiki/RenderingOsmDataUbuntu you have detailed instructions for how to setup mapserver as a wms server for openstreetmap imagery.

Re: [mapserver-users] Base map data for WMS
Thank you for your answers. @Edward: Thank you for that link, just what I needed. I have been looking at OSM before but it always seemed to be mainly about street maps with too many features and I never really found out how to use it. In the link you provided I now also see decent topographic maps so I'll certainly give it a try! @Andrea: Natural Earth indeed seems to be a good alternative to start with, thank you for that link.

Re: [mapserver-users] Base map data for WMS
Thank you. Yes, I was planning to use a tile cache for this service. I am not new to MapServer but have never used OSM or tile caching and am not particularly experienced in styling, so I have many questions now. But I'll first study the documentation in the answers!

Re: [mapserver-users] Base map data for WMS
By pregenerate I suppose you mean pre-download from the osm servers? This in the general case is prohibited by osm's TOS : http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tile_usage_policy Yes, I am referring to the possibility to do the seeding of the tiles, for example, referring to MapProxy, look at the mapproxy-seed command [1]. Looking at the link you sent, the sentence Bulk downloading is strongly discouraged. Do not download tiles unnecessarily. seems to prohibit this use case, so you are definitely right. Thought, this would be seem prohibited just for zoom levels = 17: In particular, downloading significant areas of tiles at zoom levels 17 and higher for offline or later usage is forbidden without prior consultation with a System Administrator. These tiles are generally not available (cached) on the server in advance, and have to be rendered specifically for those requests, putting an unjustified burden on the available resources. To avoid having your access blocked, please discuss your requirement with system administrators either via their wiki pages or on the IRC channel prior to starting. In any case, as supposed in my previous email, it is not feasible to seed the whole OSM on common cases normal sized hardware (unless you want just to display maps to low zoom levels): on the OSM own servers they are not caching it for zoom levels = 17 and I guess they have a very large infrastructure. But, could still be a viable approach for smaller datasets coming from existing WMS that do not prohibit this kind of use. thanks for pointing this out ;) P [1] http://mapproxy.org/docs/1.3.0/seed.html -- Paolo Corti Geospatial software developer web: http://www.paolocorti.net twitter: @capooti skype: capooti ___ mapserver-users mailing list mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-users
