[Marble-devel] Changing OSM tile sources

[Konrad Enzensberger]

Hi Amit,

1)yes, by default this server is used. each marble map comes with configuration xml file,
   for OSM map:   ..\mapdata\maps\earth\openstreetmap\openstreetmap.dgml .

2)open openstreetmap.dgml, see section <downloadUrl> , thats all

3)no hurdles. simply set you prefered server in *.dgml file

4) i used this manual to setup my own osm tile server
    http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Ubuntu_tile_server
   
    system requirements: for whole world osm server , openstreetmap suggest: 48GB RAM / >4TB HD
    note: import whole planet.pbf with  "osm2pgsql" may need several days !

br, onrad

  Hi all,

  I am considering deploying an application which uses marble widget for use within a corporate setting.  User base might extend to (say) 50 users.  If successful user base might grow to a few hundred.  I don't anticipate a high level of concurrent access amongst the user base.

  I'm considering using the OSM map style in some use cases and want to stay the right side of tile usage policies.  Some questions come to mind:

  1) Does the default Marble instance use the OSM tile servers? [<from osm wiki>...default "Mapnik" tiles rendered and served by {a,b,c}.tile.openstreetmap.org ]

  2) Where in marble source code does the url for downloading such data appear?

  3) Are there any obvious hurdles to re-pointing MarbleWidget to use a free OSM tile server (e.g. MapQuest)?

  4) Can anyone point to an authoratitive guide on hosting your own internal OSM server? [Switch2osm seems to be relevant but interested in any other opinions]

  5) Can anyone point to guidance on sizing a server to handle OSM tile serving? [I gather the dataset is 300GB+ and vaguely recall suggestions of 12GB RAM..]

  Thanks in advance for any pointers.

  Regards,



  Amit
