I'm building a robot as a school project that will use data from TIGER imports and automatically create route relations for US state roads. There are tens of thousands of these, so some automation seems appropriate.
I'm not sure what the best way to access the data is. The robot will have to make /lots/ of queries (much like the wayfinder plugin in JOSM), so querying against the main db seems inappropriate. What are my other options? * Local db? I tried importing planet.osm but it's too big and takes too long. Even if I trim it to just US, my machine isn't all that powerful, and I still don't know if I'll have enough disk. * XAPI? I heard this is slow and will not be up for the amount of queries I might be sending. * TRAPI? ROMA? I could use some guidance. If there's some way to get part or all of the planet onto my own machine without spending 3 weeks doing the import, I'd be up for it, but otherwise, I need other suggestions. -- Peter Budny \ Georgia Tech \ CS PhD student \ _______________________________________________ dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/dev
