I'm finally getting around to learning how to download a local copy of OSM data and make maps offline ... and apparently I picked a really bad week to do that, because it turns out a API switch to 0.6 happened yesterday.
One of the first steps in http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Mkgmap is to use the XAPI to download data: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Osmxapi But the URLs given on those pages give Internal Server Errors. I was trying URLs like this: http://www.informationfreeway.org/api/0.5/bbox=-116.73,34.3,-113.69,36.88 I tried substituting "0.6" for "0.5" in the osmxapi URLs but those just gave 404, "Not found". I can't find anything on what the new URL should look like. I thought maybe something ike this would work: http://www.informationfreeway.org/api/0.6/map?bbox=-116.73,34.3,-113.69,36.88 might work (I changed 0.5 to 0.6 and added the "map?" part because of what I saw in the 0.6 protocol page, http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM_Protocol_Version_0.6#Retrieving_map_data:_GET_.2Fapi.2F0.6.2Fmap but I still get a 404. Help! How do I use the OSM XAPI to get map data with a bounding box with 0.6? I'd be happy to update the two wiki pages if I can find something that works. ...Akkana _______________________________________________ newbies mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/newbies
