This is a python script and c preprocessor to build a complete mapfile from a set of templates and styling information for a postgis database with openstreetmap data imported with imposm3.
-
the mapfiles are compatible with mapserver versions >= 6.2.0
-
the build process uses the gcc preprocessor extensively, you should have it installed on your system. On linux, check that the 'cpp' command is present. On OSX, the provided 'cpp' program is a shell wrapper that is not suitable: the Makefile is coded to call 'cpp-4.2', which you can change in case you have another version installed.
-
The mapfiles rely on the database schema as created by a recent version of imposm3.
-
python yaml is required.
Currently, the following styles are predefined:
- default (the original style used with basemaps, inherited by the other styles)
- nobuildings (as default, but without openstreetmap buildings)
- bing
- centerlined
- outlined
- michelin
- brt (a schema designed for public safety in the Netherlands)
- (deprecated, needs fixing) osm2pgsql.yaml
First:
Tweak Makefile to reflect:
- Database parameters OSM_DB_CONNECTION
- Projection OSM_SRID
- Map Extents OSM_EXTENT
- Schema and tablename prefix OSM_NAME_COLUMN
Second check that the style is how you want it:
- styles/stylename.yaml
If you want to create a new style, best practice is to copy default.yaml and change it to fit your needs.
Finally run: make STYLE=stylename
And pick up osm-stylename.map from the directory where you ran make
Happy mapserving!
