[OSM-dev] [GSoC] Data tile example site

[Michael Daines]

Hi everyone,

An example data tile server covering the British Isles is now online:

  http://data-tiles.mdaines.com/

The library I have been working on is rendering tiles as a Tirex backend using OpenStreetMap data. The map is drawn using Kothic JS over top of image tiles rendered with Mapnik which show land polygons (basically the contents of the layer-shapefiles.xml.inc file in OSM's Mapnik stylesheet).

Here is an example data tile:

The data in the tileset is defined by this configuration file which uses a DSL that works sort of like CSS selectors:
