Hi, Could someone explain me differences between OSM Rails Port [1] and building it's own OSM Server [2]? I would like to develop an Indoor/Outdoor navigating system based on OSM. So I need to add OSM buildings descriptions to the database in order to insure indoor/outdoor routing continuity. What do you think about extending OSM to indoor mapping? Thanks, [1] Rails Port asked 12 Apr '11, 14:40  AudreyC |
One Answer:
The Rails Port is the currently used implemenation of the API. Editors talk to it using a REST-like protocoll with a XML description of the raw map data. The blog post on "building your own OSM Server", cover the creation of a server that renders and servers PNGs files created from the raw map data. answered 12 Apr '11, 14:50  petschge |
Thanks for your answer!
I have installed the Rails Port and populated the DB thanks to osmosis. I am not sure to understand why, if I edit the map on my server, I don't see ways and nodes as when I edit the map on openstreetmap.org?
Does the answer here help? I'm guessing a bit here, obviously.
@SomeoneElse, that topic remains unanswered, do you know how to address this issue?
Alas no...
