The main difficulty is to set up the map tile renderer and the geolocation database. I cannot tell you how difficult it is to do that these days. Maybe the OpenStreetMap project or the developers of the map servers have some ready made installation and configuration scripts available, which facilitate the process? However I expect that it will still require some manual intervention. > I think this is not quite on the topic or emacs-devel. > Where is the best place to discuss this? One could ask on one of the OpenStreetMap mailing lists: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Mailing_lists The dev, tile-serving and talk mailing lists seem most appropriate. Daniel
