hello, i have setup an openstreetmap server and everything works perfectly..however there are somethings that i do not fully understand... regarding alternative styles --when you load the osm file with osm2psql into postgresql you need to pass the style.xml as a parameter.. Than implies that postgresql holds representation data (for example, colors) into the tables? I have seen the tables loaded but i did not find anything related to style... --that leads to my main confusion..for example i want to load either the humanitarial style or the osm-bright? how do i do that? do i have to run the osm2psql with a different another_style.xml into the same database? i do not quite understand how to serve different layers ? another style means another database ? some explanations would be great... also, lets say that i want to remove all the restaurants from the tiles and add them with javascript as points with leafletjs...as far as i understand, i need to create a style with tilemill, generate the mms file, convert it with mapnik and reload the data (and then it goes to my first question).. asked 28 Jul '17, 09:27  dmtrs |
One Answer:
You don't pass any You can often run multiple styles from the same osm2pgsql database, so long as they have been either written to work with the same columns, or use the same answered 28 Jul '17, 11:40  Andy Allan |
