[OSM-talk] Low zoom render requests for the Sudan
I've been loading routes provided by the United Nations for the Southern Sudan and the UN has invited us to demonstrate these OSM maps at a UN conference in early February. Ideally the maps should be available on line, although we probably will also show off line images. Unfortunately the Mapnik data is only half there (this week) and doesn't render at all at zoom level 6 and below. These are all long highways, there is not much detail that is worth zooming in for at the moment. I've installed [EMAIL PROTECTED] and am waiting for a password to upload generated images, however I'm not sure if I can generate tiles for zoom level 6 at the moment. It looks like I can only generate down to zoom level 8 using ./tilesGen.pl xy 151 118 8 (etc). Can I do the same at zoom level 6? Regards Neil Penman Never miss a thing.

Hi Neil, Unfortunately the Mapnik data is only half there (this week) and doesn't render at all at zoom level 6 and below. These are all long highways, there is not much detail that is worth zooming in for at the moment. This can be solved quite easily for Mapnik layer if you could provide bounding box for that area.

Re: [OSM-talk] Low zoom render requests for the Sudan
Thanks Artem, 80n, The bounding box would be: 27, 2.5, 37, 18 Min Long, Min lat, Max Long, Max Lat Regards Neil Artem Pavlenko wrote: Hi Neil, Unfortunately the Mapnik data is only half there (this week) and doesn't render at all at zoom level 6 and below.

After some discussion on irc I have started doing some [EMAIL PROTECTED] zoom8-11 lowzooms in South Sudan around Juba. Once we have some current z8 tiles then zooms below 8 can be generated using lowzoom.pl which you will find under the tools dir if you already have [EMAIL PROTECTED] This script basically just pulls the z8 tiles, stitches them together and scales them which is why you need to do the z8 tiles first. The comments on irc suggested this was required for presentation to UN by Monday, anyone else up for some lowzoom rendering? cheers rcr ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk

Absolutely, thanks Artem. It will be good to see what it looks like.

I also notice that most of the border for Sudan has not been done either, I'll start importing the WDB data it for the areas I'm doing lowzooms on as I go. I'll keep track of what borders I'm doing here : http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/WikiProject_Import_WDB/Africa Cheers rcr ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk
