I'm not sure why you're not getting a full set of roads from OpenStreetMap using that query, but regardless I believe the canonical way of doing this is using the Osmosis tool to extract the specific region you're interested in from a larger openstreetmap file (such as canada.osm). Osmosis is here: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Osmosis Here's a bounding polygon for PEI: ftp://maproom.dlt.psu.edu/pr_edwrd_is2pts.txt. There's explicit instructions on how to use Osmosis on the above page. -- William Lachance [email protected] _______________________________________________ Talk-ca mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ca
