Okay, I am tavelling currently so I felt the need of point I have raised. I
will try to use as explained in above message, Do I need to do anything
extra to use that means like compilation or packaging etc. or it is
available for direct use.

I am completely agree with your point but the thing is about osm's own
application. I wish more and more users to use osm. There are lot of other
methods to get paid from applications like adds and support .

Because Google has never asked me to use all of its features and that is
also without any kind of adds.

One more thing about all third party applications is that their tile
rendering is blocked at higher zoom levels that's why i want osm's own
application without using any third party.

Thank You.
