How do I render OSM data using Mapnik. I searched google and found some stuff, but find those guides are either not complete or not easy to follow. Could someone write a complete and easy to follow guide on rendering with Mapnik

I want to be able to render maps that work with Locus pro on Android.

If anyone can think of an easier method than Mapnik, please say. I do want to have a go at Mapnik but I don't have a clue where to start.#

I have tried to use Osmosis but don't know how to use it. I don't like the command line. Is there Osmosis with GUI renderer.

EDIT: I have also tried TileMill. The only thing is where can I get a stylesheet that matches Mapnik, could I use that Mapnik style directly. If you can, where do I get the stylesheet from.

How do I load OpenStreetMap data into TileMill?

Have you looked at the options at http://switch2osm.org?

If you want to render for locus, did you try the methods described at Locus in our wiki?

TileMill is a map design application that uses Mapnik as its rendering component. You could use this to generate your map as a standalone application, or in conjunction with a MapBox account if you need tile hosting services.

There is a detailed description on TopoMapCreator about How to render OSM data with TileMill on Windows.
