Hi, i'm a french contributor and i look for advice for a project. I'm processing free french city official data (from insee, official stat agency) and i have to match those city with osm city (place=*) to geolocalize it on a map. The project is to present cctv surveillance in the country (see demo at [1]).
To get those data and preprocess them i used XAPI to retrive all nodes with tag place=* : The result is fine but XAPI servers are randomly running and data seems old. New Java XAPI servers do not accept the bounding box : too large. What are the best way to retrieve OSM raw data (xml format would be preferable) to update regulary the project's data ? Thanks. [1] project demo http://www.leretourdelautruche.com/map/cctv/cctv_map.php These map show city global data (user contributions) and individual cctv camera localisation (from OSM man_made=surveillance) when you zoom to a city with cctv mapped (ie. Strasbourg) : <http://www.leretourdelautruche.com/map/cctv/cctv_map.php?zoom=15&lat=48 .5831&lon=7.75238&layers=B0T> -- Pierre-Alain Dorange OSM experiences : <http://www.leretourdelautruche.com/map/> _______________________________________________ dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/dev
