Hi, What is it that you want to do with the data? Most unzippers (like bzip2 <http://www.digistar.com/bzip2/> and izarc <http://www.izarc.org/> can unzip the planet file, unless there are a problem with the size. After unzipping the file is a plain text file in xml-format which is possible to read with any editor that is able to cope with the size of the file. If you want to import the data into a database like sql-server then maybe someone else can help you. If you wish to render map images, you could read <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Osmarender/Howto> and then try again with more questions. /Jonas S _______________________________________________ dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dev
