yep, of course optional and as you said, an addition to be able to download only tiles updated less than D days would be nice, too, I guess.. >> * forcing download empty tiles > What does that mean? For example download every tile that has 2 (or 3 or four) neighbors downloaded to 'fill the gaps' in the map. >> Does someone actally know how much load it creates on (new :) OSM >> servers to update X mb of tiles with y% to be updated?

So 300MB of tiles with 30% updated it would generate (5+10*30)*300 kB = 89MB or so.. ok.. I wonder if it's ok for OSM people if people start doing it like this a lot more than they now do. r -- | risto h. kurppa | risto at kurppa dot fi | http://risto.kurppa.fi _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
