Evening All,
I haven't seen this mentioned around.  A company in Germany called 
GEOFABRIK are processing the OSM data nightly into shapefiles and 
making them freely available at;


http://download.geofabrik.de/osm/

I've grabbed the Australia-oceania set which is about 70MB zipped.  
I've got it running with an instance of Xastir on FreeBSD and a dbfawk 
file custom built for it and it's quite good.


Worth a look, especially for those of us outside of North America 
which is all most of the online maps cover.


Carl.

[Xastir] wiki update for Mandriva

2009-07-04 Thread Lee Bengston
Just a quick fyi - the Installation Notes for installing Xastir in
Mandriva 2009 have been updated to include Mandriva One 2009 Spring
(2009.1), which is the latest version.

http://www.xastir.org/wiki/index.php/Installation_Notes#Mandriva

I transmitted an earlier message to that effect, but I received a
server errror from gmail, so it appears that it went into la la land.
If it did make it to the list, sorry about the redundancy.

Regards,

Last one I see from you is dated June 24th, so I think you're good.
