[OSM-newbies] OSM on paper

[Graham Jones]

Hi,
I know some people have experimented with sqlite, but I have not heard of
it being used much for rendering osm data - you would have to search the
OSM wiki or osm-dev mailing list archive for it.

If you are new to the tools, it is probably easier to use postgresql, as
more people use that so will be able to help.
There is a good step-by-step tutorial for setting everything up on Ubuntu
at
http://switch2osm.org/serving-tiles/manually-building-a-tile-server-12-04/.
   You will not need the mod_tile and renderd bits, but the postgresql and
mapnik installation instructions are useful.   You can then use
generate_image.py (which comes with the OSM mapnik stylesheet) to create a
map image.
Once you have it working, you can then experiment with changing things.

(There is also a Mapnik plugin to read osm files directly, which may work
for small areas, but I have never used it) - again probably best to
practice with postgresql first.

Regards


Graham.
