I already checked those pages but as you said there are thousands of possibilities and to be honest I’m quite lost and don’t know what to choose beetween one tool or the other one.
I want to develop a website with some tools on the side. This website would content a map of the world with a style (that I want to create) and a user could do some things like selecting his city and put markers on his own map.
The trouble is that I don’t have a lot of space on my server so I would like to generate the map of the world without downloading the whole archive. (I don’t know if it is possible, I didn’t see it during my searches on the wiki)
My server is running on Ubuntu.
I’m currently testing Merkaator and tilemill to see how I can style maps. The trouble is that if I use those tools my maps won’t be able to be updated.
After some further researches I plan to use Tilemill to design my map and to export tiles. After that I plan to integrate that tiles with openlayers in order to show it in my web site.
Unfortunately, tiles are quite slow to render (I’m using a I5@3.4Ghz) and I have to download regularly OSM’s datas to generate another time my tiles to kip my map up to date.
I think my system is not optimized but I don’t know what to do to custom and to kip my map up to date.
I am open to any suggestion you might have, thank you!
