Hi Rahul,<br>
<br>
Yes, the .osm files would serve as tiles. That is exactly one of the major<br>
parts of the project: Getting a "server prototype" running. Creating some<br>
.osm tiles ready for use and having the client load the tiles automatically.<br>
<br></blockquote></div></div></div></blockquote><div>So, the .osm tiles might be of arbitrary location irrelevant to what user would<br>like to see ( usually, preferred locations may be country, city, etc. depending<br>upon user) or is there any specifications ?<br>

Of course there is more to it: Performance improvements and rendering<br>
improvements. Have a look at the ideas page for details.<br>
<br>
You would basically build on top of the excellent work that Konstantin did<br>
last year. Did you have a look at the work he did and did you have a look at<br>
the youtube video that demonstrates the .osm vector rendering support for<br>
single files?<br>
<br>
