These libraries are really useful for data manipulation (conversion, projection, etc) of both raster (GDAL) and vector (OGR) data. Beyond that, I've never really considered doing geo-processing on the server as I've always wanted a GUI to be able to see the results. If you need to do complex data manipulation directly on the server, it might be worth looking into <a href="http://grass.fbk.eu/intro/index.php" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">GRASS</a> for running geo-processing commands directly from the shell.

Add addresses here to convert to Lat/Long: http://stevemorse.org/jcal/latlonbatch.html?direction=forward Once you copy/paste the new lat/long into excel, you then take the excel file and push it through here (read the instructions, can be tricky at first), and it'll create your KML file for you: http://www.earthpoint.us/ExcelToKml.aspx Good luck!

OpenStreetMap Data –gets stored in->

This setup can produce lots of different kinds of maps, thematic and reference maps at any scale. It could definitely make something like what’s in your example… just not in 3D.

Any chance you can give a complete primer on GIS/GPS programming and how all of what you've discussed above ties together? What's the difference between mapnik and open street maps? I want to do stuff like this - http://bit.ly/yO71Uy . Do i need a map server for this? Thanks! Hey guys, Thanks a lot for this article.

There's too much data to convert it into latitude and longitude. Is there another progam like this that will allow me to do that?
