8 OpenStreetMap is the core data providing the basemap (Worldwide) that allows routing, town names, address lookup and so on
* Relevant (public) data is incorporated into OpenStreetMap (or simply validated)
* Private data is mapped and saved locally
* A script is then run to download the wanted area from OpenStreetMap and transform it into the desired "look" using customised styling rules.
