I've updated our interactive "Server Setup Guide" to help you quickly and easily set up your own map server:
- locally or remote
- on Linux, Mac or Windows
- use map data covering just your city, a region or the whole world
- OpenStreetMap data and/or satellite imagery
- choose one of three frontends

In order to prepare the map and download servers for worldwide satellite and orthoimagery, I need to migrate some of our infrastructure. Unfortunately, this may result in brief outages over the next 1-2 days, but I will try to keep these to a minimum.

Two new experimental updates:
