Hi All, First time poster so please be gentle. I've looked for help on this but can't find any. Does Open Street Map have any tools to help me create (and export) a map with GPS markers plotted on it? Thanks in advance for any help. Edit: I would be providing the GPS coordinates. asked 25 Sep '11, 13:06 cag8f |

You can achieve that easily with the javascript library OpenLayers or using a web service such as ShowYourJourney. For the home-made solution, using OpenLayers, you can find some examples on the wiki. For example, I've also published an example. answered 28 Sep '11, 10:10 NicolasDumoulin Thanks Nicolas, you helped me discover OpenLayers.

Thanks for all the answers. I haven't had time to follow up on any of the suggestions yet, but I will, I promise :-) To answer the last question, I need to create a static map right now, but I would like to know how to create a web map in the future. answered 01 Oct '11, 12:26 cag8f |
Checkout Viking GPS. It's FOSS that runs on Linux and Windows. You can enter GPS Coordinates manually, or read them from a GPS. It can dispay them on top of almost any tile server, including ones that use the OSM data (e.g. Mapnik, Cloudmade). You can also export created map to a file. I personally user Viking when I am creating maps for road rallies so I can show people where they should have been. answered 28 Sep '11, 18:14 jwernerny |
Quick & dirty reply presuming you are using Potlatch 2 as your editor: 1 Connect GPS to PC and open OSM When done: Hope this helps. answered 25 Sep '11, 15:20 FollowMeChaps SomeoneElse ♦ Thanks to you both. When I get some time I'll try both of those and let you know.

you should digg in direction of Mapnik, not openstreetmap answered 25 Sep '11, 14:37 Gevork |
Could you precise what kind of export do you want: static map (image) or web map?
