Hello everyone, A quick update on the Footnav project, which I've hinted at once or twice on here. Footnav aims to be a 3D mobile navigation application for countryside users e.g. hikers, off road cyclists, showing OSM data (paths, 3D models of stiles, gates etc, and hills using SRTM data).

Thank you for your thoughtful suggestions. I'm a n00b, so I'm not sure if I have to setup my own instance of the database to run this query or, if not, where I should go next. Any additional suggestions or direction would be appreciated. --Yumi On Thu, Sep 17, 2009 at 4:54 AM, Lennard

It is possible that daily files are missing data. They're running with a 35 minute delay hour, so if a single changeset upload takes longer than that time it might not be included in the daily diff. The minute diffs running at a 5 minute delay are frequently losing data. So how could the
