Hello Dane, I wanted to ask you if you have the technical skills to implement a Tile server (Mapnik) with a fast update cycle. The thing is that the people managing the Ushahidi Chile website are willing to go back to OpenStreetMap as their default map layer, but ask me for a more "appealing" render. I thought of CloudMades Custom Style renders, but the problem is that I want to preserve the OSMF render ability to update the tiles in a very fast cycle (lets say ten minutes) using the diffs. We are working in the earthquake affected area and I want to show that as soon as possible in the render, not 10 days later.
I am notoriously unskilled in this kind of technologies, so I can provide the requirements, and maybe intervene on simple tasks like the configuration of the XML file that controls the style of the render, but in everything else I totally depend on more experienced people. Thanks for your help.

I heard from Severin (Haiti UNOCHA) that you are almost there Dane (nice and neat). If replicable by you or somebody else in OSM, this is a service that must come together with the already OSM shp and garmin extracts from cloudmade and geofabrik. I leave this in your hands Best to both of you and all N ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Dane Springmeyer <[email protected]> Date: Wed, Mar 3, 2010 at 2:23 AM Subject: Re: Haiti Quake support: field-reported ill-functioning ESRI WMS featuring OSM images background tiles To: OCHA HAITI MAPPING <[email protected]> Cc: Mikel Maron <[email protected]>, Kate Chapman <[email protected]>, Andrew Turner <[email protected]>, nicolas chavent < [email protected]> Hello Severin, I'll comment below inline...

Which version of ArcGIS are you running? : - http://data1.vizure.net/server/services/osm.xml?, wich views the details shown currently on openstreetmap.org, but almost impossible to prnt or export in a numeric map on ArcGIS. Okay, I do not know much about this service, other than it is low quality jpeg. What do you mean by "numeric map"? I tried to make a map on Leogane area from 300 to 96 dpi and each time, as print edition as much as a PDF, it failed, with only a little part on the upper left corner of the image Okay. - http://tile2.dbsgeo.com/?request=GetCapabilities&service=WMS&version=1.1.1which apparently shows only boundaries This is the service I run. It should show more than boundaries, but yes the data show does change by zoom level. I think what is likely happening in ArcMap is that you need to EXPAND the layer checkbox, and make sure that ALL the sub-layers of the WMS are turned on. So, here is an example request: http://tile2.dbsgeo.com/?layers=__all__&bbox=18.497972,-72.479639,18.572645,-72.247381&height=400&width=600&service=WMS&request=GetMap&version=1.3.0&srs=EPSG:4326&format=image/png&styles=&crs=EPSG:4326 Does this look different from what you are getting?
