I am trying to create a slippy map of the area of Wrexham, but using the British Coordinate System (by following http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Mapnik_GB_Projection) I can produce the maps in the standard spherical projection, using osm2psql to upload the vectors in a box (-b -3.4,52.85,-2.7,53.15) to PostgreSQL, and create the tiles defining the same box in generate_tiles.py. I then change the coordinate system in PostgreSQL with PostGIS extension using the command Checking the data in Qgis shows everything looks fine and the coordinates are what would be expected.
For mapnik, I have changed the srs attribute in osm.xml to In generate_tiles.py what coordinate system should bbox be in? Both bbox = (300000,300000,335449,351718) and bbox = (-2.0,52.043,-0.896,54.047) just give me blank tiles. |

This question is pretty ancient, but I'm hoping the answer might be useful to someone! You might want to try using my Python script print-osgb.py, which I wrote for this purpose. You set various options at the top of the Python file rather than providing arguments when running the script. IIRC, the data in PostGIS can be in whatever projection you like as long as this is reflected in the section of the Mapnik XML file that defines the data source. However, the srs at the top of the XML file should reflect the OSGB projection. I normally just use |
