Thanks :) > > Now.

The background map is a layer queried from metacarta WMS server which uses VMAP0 data for demonstration purpose. Obviously it is not a great looking map and does not have much details. > The map you have in your example doesn't have enough details.

I had set up a demo on my home machine that used OpenStreetMap data using Mapnik rendering. These are beautiful maps with lots of details. tg.ext.geo supports mounting of TileCache as a wsgi app. TileCache basically sits on your server and serves tiles requests to mapping clients. Whenever a tile is not found (cache miss) a tile is generated using mapnik (my example used mapnik but you could use mapserver or WMS server) and cached locally in the server so that any tile requests for that tile (cache hit) can be served using the already generated tile. Unfortunately, with the basic servics at webfaction that geo.turbogears.org is running on, it is not possible to host that app. Lee McFadden has been kind enough to allow me free hosting on his server. As soon aswe manage to get PostGIS running on his server I will host the demo. In the mean time I suggest you follow this tutorial on using OpenStreetMap data in mapnik http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Mapnik . Once you got this running you could use openlayers and tilecache to setup your app. Regards Sanjiv > > You probably seen this > article:http://alistapart.com/articles/takecontrolofyourmaps > > > Thanks, > Luca > > > > --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TurboGears Trunk" group.
