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] OSM Boston Meetup group

[Lars Ahlzen]

Hi all!

For those of you who haven't seen it already, we're (finally) starting 
up a proper OSM Meetup group in the Greater Boston area:


http://www.meetup.com/OpenStreetMap-Boston/

Jason Remillard and myself will initially try to head up the group. 
Anyone is of course more than welcome to suggest events. We'll start off 
with the spring 2014 #editathon in a couple of weeks.


A big thanks to Telenav for both helping out with a venue and for 
sponsoring the Meetup dues.


- Lars

Re: [Talk-us] Vandalism in NYC - reverted

[Serge Wroclawski]

Alex (or anyone else),

If you find vandalism like this, please do not email DWG members
individually, but instead, you should:

1. Free free to revert it. You do not need "permission" to do so.

2. Message the user through the OSM message system

3. If you want help, please email d...@osmfoundation.org. We have
people in the DWG with geographic, cultural and linguistic diversity,
along with access to (as mentioned) put temporary blocks on users or
remove data where necessary.
