Hello,<br>I am working on a student project (team of 6 people) whose goal is to build a solution allowing mobile devices to display indoor data along with wifi geopositioning. (I am willing citing this because contrary to <a href="http://www.micello.com">http://www.micello.com</a> or <a href="http://www.aws.cit.ie/mapume/">http://www.aws.cit.ie/mapume/</a> who we just found about, we want to have something fully open source/free software).<br>
As part of this project, we have decided to use the openstreetmap server software technology.<br>
<br>Someone at University of Calford (UK) did the same as us and managed to draw into a self-hosted openstreetmap server, the inside of some campus's bookstore.<br>See here : <a href="http://www.ja.net/development/network-access/location-awareness/investigations-la.html">http://www.ja.net/development/network-access/location-awareness/investigations-la.html</a> <= B2. Interactive Maps = <a href="http://www.ja.net/documents/development/network-access/location-awareness/investigations/B2-interactive-maps-2.pdf">http://www.ja.net/documents/development/network-access/location-awareness/investigations/B2-interactive-maps-2.pdf</a><br>
<br>"@page 14 (or 270 in page footers)<br>"What worked well was the fact that whilst OpenStreetMap is intended for outdoor maps it<br>can be made to work equally well for indoor maps. The interactive server can be configured to<br>
provide further zoom levels to display the resolution required for indoor maps. The provision of<br>interactive elements can then be achieved by editing the PostGIS database to include additional<br>objects, which can then be rendered by the mapnik renderer. Each additional interactive object<br>
will require its own unique style to be predefined to ensure that they appear correctly on the<br>portable device."<br><br>I have put Nigel Linge who I believe is the author of this PDF and paragraph as a recipient of this e-mail too.<br>
<br>Could someone tell precisely what config changes need to be done for indoor precision & objects, starting from a regular openstreetmap server setup such as that described on <a href="http://weait.com/content/build-your-own-openstreetmap-server" target="_blank">http://weait.com/content/build-your-own-openstreetmap-server</a> ?<br>
<br>I basically would like to be able to draw every possible object contained in a building/home/construction.<br>I have started creating a tags draft for indoor which is very limited at : <a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features#Proposed_Features_-_Indoor">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features#Proposed_Features_-_Indoor</a><br>
<br>By the way, who would like to collaborate with my team on our indoor self- and objects geopositionning project relying on openstreetmap and java-based mobile applications ?<br><br>Thanks in advance for your help,<br><br>
