All the openstreetmap data is available freely under the CC-BY-SA 2.0 licence. To get it all you need the weekly planet file which is an XML format file containing all the current data. More at http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Planet.osm Its big, so if you only want data for a particular region/aspect you can either extract a subset of it using tools that are available or query the extended api (which is separate from OSM but built using the planet data).

Anyone have any ideas how to get there? :-) Gathering and entering your own data is quite simple but does require some basic learning. Suggest you read the beginners guide to get a feel: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Beginners%27_Guide Cheers Andy > >Please contact me here or if you prefer privately at [EMAIL PROTECTED] >thank you!!! >Best wishes, >%FireGirl% > > >-- >Want an e-mail address like mine? >Get a free e-mail account today at www.mail.com ><http://www.mail.com/Product.aspx> ! _______________________________________________ dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dev
