[OSM-talk] Running my own slippy map

[Nick Whitelegg]

What you could do is run Freemap on your server; that would basically be a 
case of downloading the Freemap source from subversion, changing the 
username and password information in the config file and off you go - a 
slippy map based on osm data. It can use a local planet-based database, a 
.osm file or the live API as its data source.

The big disadvantage of this is that Freemap is geared for countryside 
rendering - it doesn't look great in towns. To get an idea of what Freemap 
looks like see http://nick.dev.openstreetmap.org/openlayers/. If you (or 
anyone else) are interested I can supply detailed installation 
instructions.
