That would be; using GroundTruth getdata -b=-115,50,-114,51
(that was just a guess at the coords) it'll grab that area & name it 'output.osm' or just use the OSM interface & zoom to the area and 'download'. Xapi can also to a coord + zoom to get an area. Or just use JOSM and save the "datalayer1" as your OSM file (if its just the downtown core) 1 answer of many, Sam On 6/15/10, Tyler Gunn <[email protected]> wrote: > > After accidentally not including the talk-ca list in my discussions, I'll > start this off again. :) > > I'd like to keep a Garmin map of Winnipeg up to date.
