Thanks, Im slowely figuring it out. :) I got osmosis to run, and now playing with the .bat file to make it work.
It stalled with an error "thread for task 1-read-xml failed" and "unable to read XML file. and "Invalid byte 2 of 3-byte UTF-8 sequence" Does the script need to call any files from the lib/ directory? Who is the creator of this program that might be able to help? Unfortunately it still asks me to put in the bounding box coordinates. I guess there isn't a way to simply slice the .osm file in 16 (it looks like it has to be .bz2) Thanks, Sam On Sun, May 31, 2009 at 9:52 AM, Chris Jones <[email protected]> wrote: > > On 31 May 2009, at 15:40, Sam Vekemans wrote: > > Hi, >> I already got part of the answer - 50,000 (things; nodes, lines, areas >> -total) so now i want to know, what approx size (in mb, kb) is safe? >> I loaded a changeset of 358 kb and it seemed happy.
