I have a raster layer that I would like to use as a basemap and overlay vector OSM data (cities and the such). I would also like to have the capabilities to view it offline on a Windows desktop computer, such as that the marginalia stays on the current screen when I zoom and pan, coordinates are accessible, etc. Perhaps what I'm looking for is an offline version of Google Maps, but stripped down since I am not concerned with editability. Is there a free/widely available way to do this? I am currently playing around with ArcGIS-exported PDFs, which preserve geographic coordinates, but do not retain marginalia within the Adobe Reader viewing frame when I zoom in. I started looking at the Software link, but have had no luck thus far. asked 24 Apr '13, 23:10  melynnduh edited 24 Apr '13, 23:16 |
One Answer:
If you have your raster data in tiles and your OSM vector overlay in KML form then you can easily run an offline OpenLayers "website" (opening something like answered 25 Apr '13, 08:09  Frederik Ramm ♦ |
