I have downloaded and setup the maptiler server on Docker on my machine. I bought a subscription and have downloaded the OSM maps and it seems to work just fine. However I see there are satellite maps I would like to use as well. Is this possible. Do I need to run a second server with the Satellite files or can they co-exist same server and how would I choose/switch between them.
Many thanks in advance

We are running our own OSM tile server and OSRM. It is pretty straight forward to set URLs for both when accessing them in Java/Android (OSMDroid) and Web (Leaflet). Is there a comparable open source / free package or library (not Mapbox) out there for an Apple app? Or suggestion for resources to help us understand how to access our OSRM in MapKit? We can see how to add OSM tiles to MapKit, but are struggling to understand how to get routing directions from our OSRM instance. Thanks.
I am a bit confused on how the process of mapping works on Tableau. I understand that you are able to connect to multiple WMS servers through the desktop client but what happens once you publish it onto the Tableau server?
Does the "publish" include all the map details needed for Tableau Server to display to viewers?.. or does the Tableau server need a connection to the WMS servers that were connected from the desktop?
To answer the question, I believe it depends on the WMS service you use.
In our shop we have integrated with Mapbox (I'm not affiliated with them). As long as you save your Mapbox API Key in the twb file, Mapbox works fine when you publish. We have not found any issues once published.
We also tried Google Maps. With published workbooks, we had some issues with the firewall (easily fixed) as well as issues with the mapping service blocking us (we were using a free account). Because we found Mapbox, we did not pursue Google Maps. Because we had to put in an exception in our firewall, I'm assuming it does not upload any images or maps and makes live calls to the map server.
I am writing mobile application with apache cordova engine.
I need tile and geocoder(reverse geocoder) server, for this reason I want to use here-api.
I need something as OSM, with buildings, street names... etc.
How I need request to get this type of tiles?
Or, Is it possible to get OSM tiles by here's servers?
Basically I need tiles of Armenian.
Thanks and Regards.
You cannot get OSM tiles via HERE servers. I believe you are looking for this:
https://developer.here.com/rest-apis/documentation/enterprise-map-tile/topics/quick-start.html
And then this:

You'll have to sign up for a plan before you can use it though:

I am trying to create my own map with the help of osm data and geoserver,successfully partially completed it with my own SLD..Now I need a web editor for edit that map data .I select "iD" for it. i don't know how to configure it with my planet osm data base
You need to keep in mind, that your current setup is designed to work for rendering only (so an OSM like basemap).
So what you IMHO need:
OSM API services
This is called rails port and is a bit tricky, as it's pretty unusal to clone the whole OSM infrastructure for "usual devs". Please be aware that you also need to think about how you want to deal with your and the official data, as you create some 'fork' of the planet and create a parallel world dataset (update workflow, sharealike license, ...)
Own iD instance
You should also host your own iD instance (or adapt the JOSM settings for each user) so you can contribute via your own API services from step 1.
Does OpenStreetMap just provide GIS data? To render maps and have a browser based UI to show maps with data, would a developer need to use something like Mapnik?
OpenStreetMap provides data yes, and you'll need specific tools to make map with them. You first need to put the data in a true GIS format, which OSM is not. Think about PostGIS, an osm2pgsql tool is designed for that. Then, you'll need a rendering tool, i.e. a cartographic engine. You can use Mapnik or MapServer. Tilemill or Kosmtik can help you designing your map styles.
Take a look here.
yo can export data form OpenStreetMap and render your own map.

There's a fuller list of rendering libraries for OpenStreetMap data here, both free and commercial.
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Renderer
Disclosure: I am the developer of one of them.
OpenStreetMap provides map data out to a wide sprawling ecosystem of different downloads and tools offering developers different map-making and map using possibilities. Here is a diagram I drew which captures some of this:
So the data comes out of the core of OpenStreetMap, in the form of 'planet downloads', one big unwieldy blob of XML (and diffs), but from there it fans out into a range of other offerings to developers, many of which are provided by 3rd parties. Taken together "OpenStreetMap & Friends" provide lots of possibilities.
If you are inclined to run your own rendering system, then yes, Mapnik is a good choice. Powerful and scaleable (most successful OSM tile servers run Mapnik), but takes a bit of setting up. You normally load OSM XML data into PostGIS, and run mapnik from that (tutorials on switch2osm.org)
If you are not inclined to run your own rendering system (for more lightweight web development tasks this seams reasonable!) you don't have to! You can configure LeafletJS or OpenLayers or others to fetch map tiles from a tile server run by somebody else. There are many providers. See the providers list on switch2osm.org and the Tile Servers list.
