Yes, this is what I meant. But I've changed it. In the newest version, the results are returned in the language specified by the variable `osm-search-language'. If you set this variable to the empty string, then each result is returned "in that result's own language". > > Osm.el comes with multiple preconfigured map > > servers which render the map in different ways. > > Could you explain what "server" means here?

An example tile lives at the URL: https://tile.openstreetmap.org/7/63/42.png You can take a look at the wiki of available tile servers: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tile_servers osm.el comes with a list of preconfigured tile servers, which are all free to use (funded by donations) and based on free software. You can chose one of them by clicking on the button in the header-line. > > For example the > > "Mapnik(de)" server renders the labels in both Latin script and the > > local language. > > That sounds like what I want.

Setting up the map rendering and map data base server locally is a major undertaking. I don't recommend it if you are not already intrinsically interested in the OpenStreetMap project itself, e.g., if you are a OpenStreetMap server administrator or developer of the free server software. As of today, the current full OpenStreetMap data dump in the form of an XML file has a size of 115GB. If you decompress this file it blows up to about 1.5TB. > Is this documented in the package documentation? The use of the internet is documented implicitly in the README, but one could be more explicit about it. I see the words "fetches", "tile servers" and "curl" in the README. Daniel
