Hi, I am new to maps and there are so many new phrases, tools and languages described on different websites, especially in OpenStreetMap website. I admire so many people who are involved in that for decades! I would like to understand better how can I do the following in the most simple way: 1. Create a website where one can search for a city for example and zoom as much as needed 2. Use black-white theme or create one? (the same theme should be used in front-end and back-end) back-end) Also, not to show street names, buildings etc, but for example, streets, water etc. 3. When user is done, to store information about selected area and from back-end to be able to print high-quality map, hopefully as a vector, although it looks like raster is only possible option. Or not? So, what I understood so far is that there are OSM maps and other maps, like Google, Bing etc... These maps are made from tiles (png) of different quality. Files are stored on different servers. Different applications are using existing servers or they store maps on their servers? How? The main thing is: How can I use high quality maps for printing, how can I download them? I tried to use Maperitive - as a part of back-end process, but how can I use the same black-white high quality theme on backend and the same theme (low-quality) on front-end, so that it can be WYSIWYG? I used leaflet for front-end. I am struggling with that for several days already. Thank you in advance!
