Hi, I need to advise. I would like to implement offline maps for visualization in Intouch from Wonderware for my diploma thesis. I want to visualize Prague (Czech Republic) and its surroundings and I need the map as a background. I need to move and zoom in with the map, which should not be a problem. I want to ask how to proceed and where I can buy APIs (which I need to put into visualization). Is it possible to edit the map in the editor before using it? I do not need a lot of things on the map, just street and town names. The visualization will go offline on the server (No Internet connection). Thanks for your time. Lukas |
You'll need to add more information about what you actually need than just "where I can buy APIs". You might get some more information from https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Rendering .
Generally speaking, creating an OSM doesn't need access to an API - just download the data and render it yourself.
I stepped forward a little bit and found that I would probably need to download the maps and run them on a computer like Localhost. Because my visualization software wants to connect via URL source to use them.
Alas you still haven't said exactly what it expects to find at that URL - map tiles? map data? if so (to either) in what format?
I ask the SW developer for this information, so far, there is no answer. I think if I were online, I would join www.openstreetmap.org. but I will be offline. When I find out what the software wants, I will write more information.
