I think you've got it right, you'd want to setup a separate database (check out OpenAvationMap [0] and the USGS Collaborative Prototype [1]). Last year I was interested in using OSM for the Safe Routes to School (SRTS) program, where the idea was to let users copy a portion of the main OSM database around a particular school, then make edits to see how adding/removing paths and sidewalks would impact the walkability of a particular school. See a previous thread I started [2] which discussed this idea of "Multiple temporary API instances". -Josh [0]: http://navigator.er.usgs.gov/ [1]: http://openaviationmap.org/ [2]: http://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/dev/2011-August/023403.html _______________________________________________ dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/dev
