[OSM-dev] OSM formats optimised for client-side vector rendering?

2011-02-17 Thread Nick Whitelegg
Hi, Much of the stuff I'm working on or have been recently involves loading OSM data from file or the web, and rendering it client side (e.g. WebGL OSM viewer and an augmented-reality app for walkers which I'm just starting work on now). Because of this, my server (OSM PostGIS-based) provides O

Hi, As from today Freemap (UK OSM walkers' maps), OpenTrailView (StreetView-like connected panoramas for hiking trails), and the demo WebGL OSM viewer have been moved from the main OSM subversion repository to Freemap's own repository. You can check out the source code at svn://free-map.org.uk/

Hi, You don't really need a text file, you can generate XML directly from the PHP and have OpenLayers read that. One good format to use for the XML is GeoRSS as OpenLayers already has a parser for that. The OpenLayers parser uses GeoRSS with Atom rather than RSS 2.0. Look at http://www.free-map

Hello Daniel, To parse XML data you'll need the JSR 172 API for Java ME, this includes the JAXP parser, which is a SAX-style XML parser. JSR172 also allows you to contact web services from a Java ME client which might be useful for you. if you have had any Java ME experience, you might want to
