Hi, As an alternative, I was wondering how acceptable it would be to use the Overpass API to obtain the data? Downloaded data would be cached on the device so for a given area, data would only need to be downloaded once. I'm fine with such a usage. The fine print is about other issues: -

Hi, This weekend at FOSDEM I gave a talk on "Hikar", my augmented reality project for walkers/hikers making use of OSM data to show trails and virtual signposts on the device. (see http://www.free-map.org.uk/common/hikar.html for info and screenshots). At the moment however it only works in
