Due to statutory requirements, we need to create our own open street map server with correct India map which includes the disputed boundaries. I have already installed OSM server using the instructions given in the following link:
https://www.linuxbabe.com/linux-server/openstreetmap-tile-server-ubuntu-16-04#comment-13257
I also have the correct shape files but I am not able to render the correct maps. I can still see disputed regions not part of India.
any body have any experience, kindly help me.
Do you already know about the OpenStreetMap India project? You can get more information about it at their GitHub project or via the talk-in mailing list. For personal projects you can also use their tile server.
Finally I am able to correct the India maps on my own tile server. For details please find the link below:

Thanks.

I have been trying to render and display seamarks in any format in geoserver, but have not been able to get the source data to upload.I have browsed into websites like Mapzen,Geofabrick,Gebco ,openstreetmaps etc.The site that helped me was https://extract.bbbike.org/ , http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Seamarks/Seamark_Objects and http://www.openseamap.org/index.php?id=kartendownload&L=1,but I am unable to download source data for seamarks like bouys,beacons,ports etc to render in Geoserver.
Would anyone help me out in showing where would I get the data with these seamaks attributes in it?
particularly around INDIAN waters (Arabian sea,Indian Ocean & Bay Of Bengal)
Either download raw OSM data and filter it, e.g. using osmium-tool. Or use Overpass API to download only seamarks. Either way, you have to search for the seamark:type tag.
Here is an example at overpass turbo (a frontend for Overpass API).
I already import open street map Library(link of GitHub) in my application and it works completely true but i want to have this map in offline mode(when internet connection is not available user can work with the map).
I saw this but i couldn't get it.
please help me ,
thank you for your time.
First of all, welcome to osmdroid.
There's a wealth of documentation on the wiki at https://github.com/osmdroid/osmdroid/wiki
In fact, there's a whole article on offline maps at
https://github.com/osmdroid/osmdroid/wiki/Offline-Map-Tiles
If those don't answer your question, see the sample app at https://github.com/osmdroid/osmdroid/tree/master/OpenStreetMapViewer
Which has some examples for offline maps.
Good day all.
I am a bit Interested in mapbox and your maps. Going thru your site I also realize that calls to the app helps you with revenue. THis is all well and good for doing an app to find the nearest coffee shop. However I am working on an application where Internet connectivity is not promised and in this case a .MBTile file would be perfect for me. I have not been able to export my maps I have created into a .MBTile even though that was directly mentioned in mapbox documentation. I would love some assistance in locating this feature or do I need a paid account to do so.
Ps I am aware this can be done with tilemil but I cannot get the maps I created from Mapkit into tilemil to do so.
Thanks
If you want to be able export .mbtiles you would have to design your map in TileMill. From there you would be able to export them into the format that you want. This would produce raster tiles rather than vector tiles however. https://www.mapbox.com/tilemill/
I have an application that currently links to Google Maps passing it the required URL parameters needed to show driving directions for a set of points (typically 3+). This approach has worked and has allowed us to not use their API, which worked fine.
With Google, they made it pretty easy and clear by using parameters like "saddr" for the starting address, "to" for way points, and "daddr" for the destination. I could even pass in "pw" if I wanted to put the map into print mode. Simple, easy, works great!
I'm trying to determine if Bing Maps supports the same thing. I have been unable thus far to find any examples showing how this can be done, nor have I been able to easily decode the URL after creating my own driving directions using Bing Maps.
Again, I'd like to avoid using the API and am find with sending users to Bing's site when clicking my link.
It this possible? If yes, how can it be done?
Yes it is possible.
And I just wrote a little blog post to demonstrate how: http://alastaira.wordpress.com/2012/06/19/url-parameters-for-the-bing-maps-website/
Alastair's answer has full details if you follow the link through to the blog post.
But if you want the quick answer (again, thanks Alastair) use this root:
http://www.bing.com/maps/default.aspx?where1=
and stick your search destination in at the end. Eg. this gets you to Atwood Rd in London using its postcode:
http://www.bing.com/maps/default.aspx?where1=W6%200HX
I just want to build a drill down map like this - Drill Down Map
Here I want to show some data on tapping of each regions.I am out of clue. How can I ? What should I use ? From where to start ?
EDIT : In the link it's showing the country name on mouse over, instead of that I want to show some data/info of the country on touch. Please visit the map shown in the link,you'll get the whole idea.
Thanks !!
If you want total control on the map layout, and be able to check which country the users taps, there's no secret : you need to have boundaries of all countries you want to detect.
Here's the global approach I would use to reimplement something that looks like the map you linked to (I can you into more details if you want, but at first, here's the global approach) :
Get the data of the boundaries of the countries you need. This can be done using OpenStreetMap.org data.
[EDIT] I just came accross this website to download countries boundaries as files you can then use with tilemill : http://www.gadm.org/country
Use this data with tilemill (http://mapbox.com/tilemill/) : this tool is able to design maps using a language that looks like CSS but dedicated for maps. The results is great and the tool great as well. This tool also support shapes files, so if you can get the countries boundaries as shapefiles, you'll be able to use them with tilemill, and this will be easier than using .osm files from open street map). Have a look here http://mapbox.com/tilemill/data/ for the supported formats.
Then, with tilemill, export your map as an MBTile file (this file contains all tiles needed to get the map rendered at different zoom levels).
Use the route-me project to display the resulting MBTile file (in its latest version, route-me is able to do that, this feature has been implemented by the mapbox team to support their open format MBTile).
Guys from Mapbox have published a good tutorial "from data to maps" here : http://mapbox.com/demo/making_massredistrict/ this may help as well
Your best bet is to use CloudMade ( http://cloudmade.com/ ). They provide custom map builders program where you can build custom maps and can integrate those maps in your iOS app.
Depends what you are looking for. To implement the linked example it's enough with a giant image that you can split in tiles using CATiledLayer. You'll find examples if you google a little, PhotoScroller is one. If you want to display real maps you have to investigate the route me project.
I don't think that using images could be good option.Check this link - arcgis-iphone api. I am not so sure but you can get some idea from this.
Happy to help..
