If you don't need current data, you can get weekly extracts of any of the 50 US states from http://planet.king-nerd.com/usa/ These are generated using the command-line tool Osmosis, which you can read about on the osm wiki.
There's not yet an extract of the entire US, but there will be once the new planet is generated tomorrow. -Jeremy ----- Original Message ----- From: Fire Girl To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, February 12, 2008 9:07 PM Subject: [OSM-dev] {To Shaun} Re: OSM Data Question from FireGirl Thank you so much Shaun! May I ask,.... what is most straightforward procedure to delineate the planet.osm file, to specified regions.... let's say New York or the United States for starters? :) I am most interested in that approach, that isn't too convoluted or difficult per-se, and produces clean data :) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Shaun McDonald" To: "Fire Girl" Subject: Re: [OSM-dev] OSM Data Question from FireGirl Date: Wed, 13 Feb 2008 00:23:02 +0000 On 12 Feb 2008, at 22:39, Fire Girl wrote: Hello, I am new to this group and hoping someone can help me. I like the open street mapping concept and want to work with this data desperately in my own pool. :) I basically have a couple of questions, *|*) Can OSM data be purchased in a database/table format? Or open source in some big glob (huge) format? :-) If you wish to donate to the OpenStreetMap project to keep the servers running, you are more than welcome to. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Planet.osm will help you get the data. ......secondly, well, mostly I am working with some new dev tools to work with this data, ... and strongly prefer having my own as current as possible data to work from. Anyone have any ideas how to get there? :-) Take a look at the Development page on our wiki. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Develop It gives you all the information that you need. Our tools are open source, so you can use them as long as you adhere to the GPL or whichever other license is on the data. There is plenty more pages on the wiki that you will find useful.
