I chose to only download the Northeastern part of the U.S for my local tile data. I would like to have a map application to view the data, and another application running on my server that generates points in some file format, I think, to be displayed on the map. Is there a way of generating that point data in such a way that it can be imported in real-time into my local postgresql/postgis database and be automatically displayed when the user looks at an area where those points have been uploaded? I have read briefly about osmosis and osm2pgsql for importing data into the OSM database, but I don’t know if those work on my own local tile server, and I don’t think they are intended for real-time execution.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I would also like to timetag the data in order to provide the user with a way to look at the points at various times. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Thanks,<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Dave Welchons <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
