Hi, I want to create a simple form on my wordpress site so that people can upload KML files which will then be stored in the db and the route shown on on openlayers map - openstreetmap. The project is for a hiking site for storing hiking routes. Any docs for this/ forums / advice. I'm completely new to this map stuff. Cheers Andy ...
Hi! I need a data dump from planet.osm fiel for the NCR region in the Philippines. I'll be using it for an OpenStreetMap project. Is there a way that I can extract a small part of the planet.osm without downloading the whole file? I mean, the planet.osm file is 11GB in size, and I'll be only needing a fraction of it. Thank you in advance...
Hello! How do I merge multiple XML files, without having redundant data? I have a project using OpenStreetMap, and the data dumps are in XML format. But becuase I plan to divide my target area in the map, then some nodes(points in the map) will be repeated in the XML files. I want to merge all that XML files, and prevent redundant data i...
My question is the following: How can I grab 'blocks' in a city for use in a game? (And then display them shaded in a certain color?) My general idea is to use real blocks of your city in a game, that you can own/sell. I want to display the areas you own as polygon overlays in google maps. Are google maps the way forward, or are other...
Hi! I wonder how the mapping thing works in the OpenStreetMap. I'm building an app that uses my own database(which I will build using OSM dumps using Osmosis; same as in the OpenStreetMap website). I have really no idea how it works. Thanks in advance! :D ...
Hi! I'm trying to install phpPgAdmin as an XAMPP addon when I encountered an error because the latest phpPgAdmin supports upto PostgreSQL version 8.3.x. So I decided to install PostgreSQL 8.3.11 instead of the latest (PGSQL 8.4.x). Will this matter to my OSM application? Thanks! ...
Hi! I'm doing a project using OpenStreetMap and OpenLayers. Currently, my task is to insert the data from the OSM file that I have to a PostgreSQL. When I checked out Osmosis (the tool for transferring data from the OSM file to the database), it says there that, in one example, "Import a planet file into a local PostgreSQL rails port dat...

Hi all, I'm working on a web-application that operates on services. Every service is normally provided over some (possibly several distinct) geographical domain(s) like city, county, region, state, country or worldwide. Typical tasks: users will submit their location as lng,lat and I will need to find what are the services availabl...
Hi guys. I've been using PostGIS in a long time now but never had to use the LINESTRING geometry ... yet! :) Here's what I would like to do : I have a table of linestrings (representing streets of a given city, SRID 3395) and I would like to find the nearest linestrings to a given point (GPS position, SRID 4326). The solution I found ...
I have a list of UK addresses and would like to plot them on a google or openstreetmap (I dont mind which). Is there a way to render a batch of addresses on a map with dots to represent the location (rather then the standard marker). To make things slightly more complex, I would like to change the colour and size of some markers. The...
I'm creating OSM map in my web site and adding some markers with openlayer.. My problem is that I allways get the same icon for marker.. <script type="text/javascript"> var map = new OpenLayers.Map("heatMap"); var mapnik = new OpenLayers.Layer.OSM(); map.addLayer(mapnik); map.setCenter(new OpenLayers.LonLat(-4.05759429879...
I'm looking for suggestions for an ideal database or data structure for storing a map. Essentially, the map consists of "ways" which are like roads, paths, etc. Ways contain nodes (which have a latitude and longitude coordinate, and sometimes an altitude.) Any such database or structure: should be able to locate all the nodes in a bo...
I'm new to OpenStreetMap and I've been browsing the wiki and the net and I can't seem to find a tutorial anywhere but I've seen examples on the net. Basically I want to generate my own OpenStreetmap and plot markers taking the latitude and longitude from a MySQL database and plotting them on my map. When the user clicks on a mark I'd l...
Hello StackOverflow, I've been at this all day long and honestly I'm out of ideas. I have some WMS layers that I would like to display/not display depending on the current zoom level. Yes, I have went through the API docs and they seem to be clear as day, but I follow everything that is suggested and I'm not getting the results desire...
