I believe you can also have JOSM get files directly from your hard drive, but I'm not sure the syntax to do so on the Mac. > > > xjjk from the OSM IRC channel has a parallized version of gdal2tiles > > which can significantly help processing times if you have a multi-core > CPU. > > Would that be maptiler? Maptiler is essentially a graphical front-end to gdal2tiles. Xjjk's version is the command line version modified. My iMac broke awhile back so I'm not sure how easy/hard GDAL is to set up with python bindings on OS X. > I've got a dual quad-core Xeon Mac Pro with 14 gb of ram so a > parallelized version would be a must. :) You'll still be limited by your CPU :P > I'll have to give it a shot and see how long it takes to process some > portion of my GeoTiff.

Might be doable. :) What I did for testing was work on a small section downloaded separately and benchmarked with different image scaling methods. The three worth considering are nearest, antialias, and lanczos. Nearest is fastest, preserves sharp edges but has the worst quality. Antialias is decently fast, decent quality. Lanczos is the best quality, preserves edges but is extremely slow. _______________________________________________ Talk-ca mailing list Talk-ca@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ca
