If you want to manually manage the is_in tag in 20 millions of nodes, please be my guest. I suggest setting up a server dedicated to grabbing a planet every week, processing it for boundaries, and automatically generating the is_in tags. Or cached data on a tile-by-tile basis, for that matter. -- Iván Sánchez Ortega <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Un ordenador no es un televisor ni un microondas, es una herramienta compleja. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk
