hi Kai, Thanks a lot for this, it seems to be working well for me. I've got a question, although I accept that it might be a osm2pgsql query.
I followed the instructions and imported Turkey into my db - this worked fine and I was happily rendering maps of the country. Since then I have used the same osm2pgsql command to import Bulgaria and Romania, but this seems to be causing issues: At the moment, only northern Romania is rendering as expected - for Turkey and Bulgaria I'm only seeing either pre-rendered tiles or new tiles based on nothing more than the coastline data. As far as I can tell, the only data currently in my db is for northern Romania. How best to check this? Is there a way to remove the pre-rendered tiles and create new ones from the contents of my db? Is there a different command I should be running to append data to an existing database?
