excuse me, I was unprecise. I am rendering the whole world up to zoom 5, and from 6 to 8 central Europe, but 9 to 15 only a part of Italy (43 to 40.6 lat), so the fewer data for NZ would get compensated by the bigger area. I use a really basic setup though, which is not efficient (no metatiles), so I guess there is room for optimization. I am sure in a few days you can render all of NZ with an ordinary desktop. also If you want to keep up to date, apply diffs, and render at the same time you will need something bigger then my setup. cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
