I've uploaded most of the tiles (starting in the north and working south) generated from the import script I've been working on which takes Graeme's NZOGPS (Polish Map format) files and turns them into .OSM files and from there I've been rendering Mapnik tiles. They are visible here
http://linz.dev.openstreetmap.org/~JoeRichards/ Notes: * import was done on a basic world map (from vmap0) to provide coastlines where they were missing * some large rivers have a lot of detail, but some seem to be missing altogether (e.g. Lower Hutt river) - this was in the NZOGPS dataset, not sure why * tiles are still being generated and uploaded now (Tue 30th June), but all of the north island to 16 zoom levels is done as well as the Tasman... South of Christchurch is still being uploaded (although some tiles are there at lower zoom levels) * I think most of the road types (primary, secondary, trunk) etc might be completely off, including the link roads. Please send me any specific instances or comments on this * No attempt made to support anything like turn restrictions or relations since this was missing from the original dataset * Roundabouts seem to have an issue as well, where their parts are missing * large lakes such as Lake Wakatipu near Queenstown were split across two datasets, and as such as not showing up * central cities seem to have more detail in the existing OSM data (except perhaps some missing street names) but rural areas have less... This is ok, but your thoughts are welcome on how to merge these I will also put up the .osm files generated by the script so you can check out whether the data is there, but just incorrectly tagged. Please feedback anything you see, especially if it is incorrect. Since the plan is to merge this with the existing Openstreetmap data, missing features that are in OSM are less of an issue than features that should be in the imported dataset but are not (and hence are missing on both).
