FAQ



Why did you do this?

I wrote scripts to joined them myself to lessen the impact
of doing a large join on Lambertus's server.  I've also
cut them in large longitude swaths that should fit conveniently
on removable media.

Can or should I seed the torrents?

Yes!!  If you use the .torrent files, please seed.  That web
server is in the UK, and it helps to have some peers on this
side of the Atlantic.

Why is my map missing small rectangular areas?

There have been some missing tiles from Lambertus's map (the
red rectangles),  I don't see any at the moment, so you may
want to update if you had issues with the last set.

Why can I not copy the large files to my new SD card?

If you buy a new card (especially SDHC), some are FAT16 from
the factory.  I had to reformat it to let me create a >2GB
file.

Does your map cover Mexico/Canada?

Yes!!  I have, for the purposes of this map, annexed Ontario
in to the USA.  Some areas of North America that are close
to the US also just happen to get pulled in to these maps.
This might not happen forever, and if you would like your
non-US area to get included, let me know.

[Talk-us] Announcing Workshops on Friday Before State of the Map US

[Bonnie Bogle]

Hi all,

Registration just opened up for four hands on workshops being held in San 
Francisco the day before State of the Map US. Two are targeted to beginners 
around getting started using and editing OSM, and two for more advanced users 
around cartography techniques and OSM infrastructure. 

Space is very limited, so read up now on the workshops if you're interested. 
Details on each plus links to registration are here:

Cheers, 
Bonnie
