There are already modules in Geo::Openstreetmap:: (Geo::Openstreetmap::Parser) and Geo::OSM:: (eg have a look at Geo::OSM::MapFeatures) I?m not familiar with openstreetmap, so this question may not make sense / be irrelevant: Are you providing for rendering on top of existing map tiles, or drawing of map tiles from OSM data? Maybe Geo::OSM::MapTile or ::Tile to represent a maptile, and ::Overlay or something like that for overlay functions. Or you could just provide those as methods on the [Map]Tile. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The former. The core of it is (a) find/download the right map tiles and blend them into a single larger image and (b) convert coordinates so that you can draw onto that image.

Schedule link below. They are about half booked. regards, oliver. -------- Original Message -------- Subject: OpenTech - you have registered a place Date: 2017-04-27 12:06 From: Sam Smith To: OpenTech Hey all, You have already booked your place at OpenTech. Since word of mouth these days seems to mean posting to twitter, which works less well than mailing lists used to, here?s an email to send to your friends :) . (if you?ve already had this email, sorry). The OpenTech provisionally final schedule is now up - http://www.opentech.org.uk/2017/schedule [1] - it?s never actually final until people start talking, but hopefully it won?t change too much (we hope). Thanks to our lovely sponsors, The Indigo Trust, we have free entry for students, those working in not-for-profit organisations, public sector, or otherwise on low incomes (which covers the previous two categories too). If you think this covers you, it probably does - just have relevant ID at the door and we?ll waive the entry fee. We?re over half full, so if you?ve not booked your place yet, you should probably do so now (and remind your friend who?s probably forgotten). http://www.opentech.org.uk/2017/registration [2] Announcement follows. See you in not-very-long-at-all, Sam and David ------------------------- WHAT?S HAPPENING AT OPENTECH 2017 With a month until OpenTech 2017, we?re really excited by this year?s schedule. As you?ll see it?s a fantastic, diverse line up of talks by a whole range of people working on issues and projects that really matter, after a year of democracy doing things that it wasn?t necessarily expected to do. Go take a look at: http://www.opentech.org.uk/2017/schedule [1]. Highlights include: * We survived 2016, what about 2017? * Standards for Private Browsing * This is for .everyone * post-FUBAR: what?s next? * Privacy: 23 million children * DIY ISP * MicroPython, micro:bit and a Million Children * Design thinking - build it faster * What can deep learning reveal about beautiful places? * Mapping Land Ownership * Periods: a provocation * Open Organs - Post-biological Organ Trade * The future: Hope, Scale, or Change? All this and much, much more. Tickets are ?5 on the door, but to make sure you get in on the day, you can pre-register here:http://www.opentech.org.uk/2017/ [3] We're already about half booked and tickets are selling fast, so don?t miss out. And don?t forget to remind your friends - OpenTech is as much about the people attending, as the speakers. For those who?ve not been before... OpenTech is an informal, low cost (thanks to The Indigo Trust [4] for sponsoring), one-day conference on slightly different approaches to technology, problems and democracy. You are guaranteed a day of thoughtful, thought-provoking talks leading to lively conversations with friends. Besides the sessions, there?ll be plenty of time to talk in the bar which will be open until 10pm. Switch off, sit back and enjoy the show As ever, while there is technically some wifi in the building, as soon as we all show up, there will no longer be any working wifi in the building. So listen to the speakers (or your mates in the bar) rather than compulsively refreshing twitter errors, wondering if you should have gone to a different session based on the tweets sent over 4G. Thanks to sponsorship from The Indigo Trust, those who are students or who work for not for profit organisations get free entry. OpenTech takes place at our usual location - the (formerly known as) University of London Union on Malet St (now known as Student Central). For entry to their building, house rules apply [5]. If you would like to help make the day as successful as previous OpenTechs, we're also looking for a few more volunteers to help out, email opentech at opentech.org.uk Oh, and did we mention?
