copied!<p>GeoServer requires two things to render a map: </p> <p><strong>data</strong> </p> <p>Just importing the OSM planet dump isn't enough to get a nice map, you need more than just roads and landmarks. OpenStreetMap adds a coastline dataset (which I think is actually derived from OpenStreetMap data, but pre-processed a bit for performance reasons) and some data from the <a href="http://www.naturalearthdata.com/" rel="nofollow">Natural Earth</a> project.</p> <p><strong>stylesheets</strong></p> <p>GeoServer uses the <a href="http://www.opengeospatial.org/" rel="nofollow">OGC</a> <a href="http://www.opengeospatial.org/standards/sld" rel="nofollow">SLD</a> format for styles, so you'll need to find or create some SLD styles specific to the OpenStreetMap dataset. Here are a few suggestions of places you could look for them:</p> <ul> <li><a href="http://github.com/mitchelljj/openstreetmap-sld" rel="nofollow">OpenStreetMap SLDs</a> used on the <a href="http://maps.opengeo.org/osm/" rel="nofollow">OpenGeo OSM demo</a></li> <li><a href="http://dev.ifs.hsr.ch/osminabox/wiki" rel="nofollow">OpenStreetMap in a box</a> also includes some tools for keeping OpenStreetMap data up-to-date</li> <li><a href="http://blog.geoserver.org/2009/01/30/geoserver-and-openstreetmap/" rel="nofollow">OpenStreetMap tutorial</a> on the GeoServer blog</li> </ul> <p>I'm also working on a <a href="http://github.com/dwins/mapnik2geotools/" rel="nofollow">tool to convert Mapnik map files</a> to GeoServer configurations. It works okay with the styles from <a href="http://open.mapquest.co.uk/" rel="nofollow">MapQuest Open</a> but still has some issues with the ones used for openstreetmap.org. If you want to give it a try though, bug reports are welcome.</p>
