    <p>You might check out openstreetmap. There you could download the planet.xml file for the whole world or specific files only for the regions you want to serve. Good material can be found also here: www.geofabrik.de</p> <p>Then you will have to set up your own tileserver, which will crunch png-tiles for the xml-files provided and store all png-maps on your local harddrive.</p> <p>The tileserver will probably have some web-api also. So your tileserver may run on localhost:8080 or another port, and your website runs maybe on apache on port 80. Then you would use some web-framework to access your own tileserver. This framework would be probably <a href="http://openlayers.org/" rel="nofollow">http://openlayers.org/</a> which can also draw shapes onto maps. As a tileserver-location, you would add the address to your local installed tileserver. Openlayers will then receive the crunched tiles and do some stuff with it.</p> <p>So, you have to at least once get some information from the internet (planet.xml) and crunch your data. But be aware that this crunching might take a long time depending on how many countries you want to serve and also these png-files will take a lot of space.</p> <p>Check out openstreetmap.org how to do all this, including some numbers.</p> <p>Maybe it is even possible just to download the crunched tiles from openstreetmap and put them in a specific order and fire up a tileserver pointing to these tiles. This would probably much easier.</p> <p>You cannot download the Google-Maps tiles and serve them in your own tile-server, since there is a license restriction on them.</p> <p>Greetings,</p> <p>Jan</p>
