Debian GIS Map Server packages

Kosmtik is a very light but extendable mapping framework to create Mapnik ready maps with OpenStreetMap data (and more).

Carto based projects are supported (with .mml or .yml config).

Node.js is an event-based server-side JavaScript engine.

TileCache is an implementation of a WMS-C compliant server made available by MetaCarta. TileCache provides a Python-based WMS/TMS server, with pluggable caching mechanisms and rendering backends. In the simplest use case, TileCache requires only write access to a disk, the ability to run Python CGI scripts, and a WMS you want to be cached. With these resources, you can create your own local disk-based cache of any WMS server, and use the result in any WMS-C supporting client, like OpenLayers, or any TMS supporting client, like OpenLayers and worldKit.

Tilemill is a map design studio for creating custom interactive maps. Data can be imported, layered and styled, and legends added to the map. The map can be exported to several formats and easily embedded into a website.

Compatible datasources include ESRI Shapefile, KML, GeoJSON, GeoTIFF, PostGIS, CSV, and SQLite. For styling the maps, TileMill uses a language called CartoCSS. Colors, sizes, and shapes can all be manipulated by applying their relative CartoCS parameters. It is possible to export pannable, zoomable maps, and static maps in PNG, PDF, and SVG format. For advanced users, it is possible to export in Mapnik XML format, and exports can be scripted from the command line.

TileStache is a Python-based server application that can serve up map tiles based on rendered geographic data.

TileStache features:

• Renders Mapnik maps.
• Serves pre-rendered tiles out of MBTiles tilesets.
• Generates vector tiles from OGR datasources in GeoJSON usable in Polymaps.
• Caches to disk, Memcache, Amazon S3, MBTiles, and elsewhere.
• Serves tiles in Google-style spherical mercator projection and WGS84 lat/lon projection.
• Runs from CGI, mod_python, or Gunicorn WSGI.
• Uses metatiles.
