The dataset is <a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/License">freely licensed</a> and available in what we call a <a href="http://planet.openstreetmap.org"><q>planet</q> file</a>. This means that if you want the OpenStreetMap dataset, you can have it. This also means that you are dealing with the entire dataset, for the whole planet, even if your interest is limited to a smaller area. If your interest is geographically limited, pushing around 6G^{<a href="planet-size">1</a>} more data than you need to push around seems wasteful. <span class='read-more'><a href="http://weait.com/content/openstreetmap-extracts">&nbsp;read&nbsp;more&nbsp;&raquo;</a></span></p> http://weait.com/content/openstreetmap-extracts#comments extracts importing maps OpenStreetMap osm osm2pgsql osmosis tile server Sat, 29 Aug 2009 12:21:12 -0400 rw 88 at http://weait.com
