[Talk-cl] Tile Map Service

Hello Dane,

I wanted to ask you if you have the technical skills to implement a Tile
server (Mapnik) with a fast update cycle. The thing is that the people
managing the Ushahidi Chile website are willing to go back to OpenStreetMap
as their default map layer, but ask me for a more "appealing" render. I
thought of CloudMades Custom Style renders, but the problem is that I want
to preserve the OSMF render ability to update the tiles in a very fast cycle
(lets say ten minutes) using the diffs. We are working in the earthquake
affected area and I want to show that as soon as possible in the render, not
10 days later.

I am notoriously unskilled in this kind of technologies, so I can provide
the requirements, and maybe intervene on simple tasks like the configuration
of the XML file that controls the style of the render, but in everything
else I totally depend on more experienced people.

Thanks for your help.

Best Regards,

Julio Costa

Dane, Julio and all-

If introductions are not already done, Dane (who put up a now stable WMS
featuring OSM images background tiles ) meet Julio (who is doing a hell of
coordination work within the OSM Chile Community)

I am just introducing you on the deployment of such a service to support
relief work in Chile we had been briefly alluded to Dane and I while Dane
was working on enhancing the quality of its WMS to make it robust enough to
meet UNOCHA map production needs in Haiti. I heard from Severin (Haiti
UNOCHA) that you are almost there Dane (nice and neat). If replicable by you
or somebody else in OSM, this is a service that must come together with the
already OSM shp and garmin extracts from cloudmade and geofabrik.

I leave this in your hands
Best to both of you and all
N

Hello Severin,

I'll comment below inline...

Hi Dane,

I tested these two WMS in ArcGIS as "GIS servers"in ArcCatalog, then put
into ArcMap as background


Okay. Which version of ArcGIS are you running?

:
- http://data1.vizure.net/server/services/osm.xml?, wich views the details
shown currently on openstreetmap.org, but almost impossible to prnt or
export in a numeric map on ArcGIS.


Okay, I do not know much about this service, other than it is low quality
jpeg.

What do you mean by "numeric map"?

I tried to make a map on Leogane area from 300 to 96 dpi and each time, as
print edition as much as a PDF, it failed, with only a little part on the
upper left corner of the image


Okay.

- http://tile2.dbsgeo.com/?request=GetCapabilities&service=WMS&version=1.1.1which
apparently shows only boundaries



This is the service I run. It should show more than boundaries, but yes the
data show does change by zoom level.

I think what is likely happening in ArcMap is that you need to EXPAND the
layer checkbox, and make sure that ALL the sub-layers of the WMS are turned
on.

So, here is an example request:

http://tile2.dbsgeo.com/?layers=__all__&bbox=18.497972,-72.479639,18.572645,-72.247381&height=400&width=600&service=WMS&request=GetMap&version=1.3.0&srs=EPSG:4326&format=image/png&styles=&crs=EPSG:4326

Does this look different from what you are getting?

Dane
