Meep Mepp, information overload! LOL! I see so many paths and almost stressed out thinking about them all! Haha. I like the pre-staged data Jeremy described, and that looks useful, and think Jason's concepts are very good. I was thinking of setting up my own Database to that end.... but I digress, I am not sure with path I need to go in yet! Maybe someone can help me make a decision? Brett and others mention this idea of extracting Boxes and Polygons. What is sure fire way to get that working right? I mean, if I want just a city, let's say, Makaha, Hawaii -- What would be proper steps (in any platform), to get to a Makaha Hawaii .OSM file? Is that even possible to get that level of detail into a OSM?*** I don't want to go further in my requests, I feel I should be able to do something with that sub-set of data.... but still, don't want to go thru unecessary lifespans with this nearly 80 gigabyte file LOL not really knowing what I am doing. But, actually though, I am willing to set it up into a database if that you all think is best way to go... but I am still not sure how to get to very local data for any worldwide spot. So I mean, this Osmosis is the sure-fire way to get to this?
Jason, the http://www.maproom.psu.edu/dcw/ looks like a winner. But, once I get to a region, like Hawaii.... I am faced with options to download "GIS Data" or "POINTS". I presume I am going to just need to get the lat/long points, and that data is what would be utilitzed within the osmosis program? :) Basically, I hope to find some understandable path to see and understand, how to clip out .OSM data from the Planet file, with greatest agility & ease, to a City for instance. :) -- Want an e-mail address like mine?
