Hi! What would be the best way to get data for ways at a specific zoom level? I would like all roads visible on zoom 5 for instance, possibly with lower resolution (fewer nodes per way). I'm guessing something like http://www.informationfreeway.org/api/0.5/way[highway=*] but the API's only seem suitable for quite small boxes.
We're also trying to import the planet file to our own copy of the database with osmosis. We have some quite new 8-core Mac Pro's here for development but osmosis 0.30 is compiled with java version that does not seem to be available on osx yet so we are trying on some old server instead. Would osmosis benefit enough from multicores that it would be strongly recommended to dedicate a Mac Pro (by booting in windows) for the parsing? Do you have any feeling of how long the import will take? We experimented with some simple ruby and sqlite and calculated the time required to like 3 months ^^ Patrik Sjöberg _______________________________________________ dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/dev
