It's not really suitable for vector data, though. Firstly, the concept of zoom levels doesn't apply - the vector data is the same at every zoom. You could choose an arbitrary zoom level, perhaps, but you then risk choosing one that's either too small-scale for mid-Wales (hundreds of empty tiles) or too large-scale for Karlsruhe (a few very big tiles). Secondly, to rephrase Jukka's point, "everyone" is only "every OSM nerd", not "everyone who wants a simple drop-in map for their webpage". Nic's suggestion looks interesting and I wonder whether xmin_ymin_xmax_ymax.osm, with a configurable option to use either integer projected co-ordinates or raw lat/longs, might be a good way forward. cheers Richard -- View this message in context: http://gis.638310.n2.nabble.com/osm-tile-naming-convention-tp5138885p5140903.html Sent from the Developer Discussion mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/dev
