I'm with Andrew, my "ultimate" is vector data that xastir can ingest directly. The only reason for me to set up a map server is if I can't get said vector data formatted for xastir. There's a slight advantage to sourcing OSM data, since that's the FOSS GIS data du jour. A portable tile server (e.g. mobile, incident command post, remote event HQ, etc) would likely require a fairly well endowed computer (high end laptop, potent SBC like an Intel NUC, or _maybe_ a higher end ARM like a Jetson TK1). I seriously doubt Pi/beaglebone/etc is going to get the job done as a tile server, they're just too anemic computationally. -Jason kg4wsv _______________________________________________ Xastir mailing list [email protected] http://xastir.org/mailman/listinfo/xastir
