title: How to store openstreetmap data locally on an iphone
body: <p>I'm working on a project for college and I'm having great difficulty with part of it. </p>
  
  <p>Simply put, I am looking to do the following 5 things: </p>
  
  <ol>
  <li><p>download the open street map data for my city </p></li>
  <li><p>store that data locally on the phone's harddrive. </p></li>
  <li><p>view that data in my iOS application as a map</p></li>
  <li><p>place markers on the map.</p></li>
  <li><p>draw paths along roads between those paths.</p></li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>I have been working on this particular part of the project for a number of weeks and I'm getting nowhere with it. I haven't even been able to figure out how to store the map on the phone let alone view the map data. I've tried using the "Route-Me" library but cannot get it working (although it seems to be one of the best libraries for using openstreetmap data so I am looking to learn how to use it). I feel pretty goddamned defeated.</p>
  
  <p>If anyone has accomplished any of the tasks I am trying to do could you please link me to tutorials/guides/videos that you have used. </p>
  
  <p>I'm not looking for people to give me code or do the work for me, I want to learn how to do this, but if anyone can point me in the right direction of sites that I could learn off I would be very grateful.</p>
  
  <p>Any advice or feedback would be much appreciated</p>
