Thanks for mentioning this. I guess it's more or less equivalent to the suggestion at http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Osmarender/Howto#Download_the_data that JOSM be used to determine the bbox coordinates for the download? For those of us who use Potlatch rather than JOSM, it would be nice if one could conveniently download and render without having to use JOSM for something as seemingly minor as converting to and then enforcing the bbox coordinates. In addition to adding the bounds element to the download, perhaps the API could also handle download requests in the centre+zoom format displayed when viewing the slippy map? - Robert _______________________________________________ dev mailing list dev@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dev
