About
OSM Scout Server can be used as a drop-in replacement for online map services providing map tiles, search, and routing. As a result, an offline operation is possible if the device has a server and map client programs installed and running.
To use the server, you have to start it and configure the client to access it. An example pages with JavaScript-based clients are provided. The server is supported by such clients as Pure Maps and modRana.
