I've just created a wiki article to describe what a bounding box is, essentially its a set of 4 coordinates, which describe the edges of a box. You can get the figures by using the 'Export' tab on the main website, clicking on "Manually select a different area" and drawing the box on the map. Then use the figures given in this order: left,bottom,right,top The other numbers you may wish to change are those before the description (eg: 1, 12, "Muenchen"), these are the zoom levels at which the tiles will be generated. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Bounding_Box -- Regards, Thomas Wood (Edgemaster) _______________________________________________ dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/dev
