That's the approach I've taken, but setting up a full dump is a pretty DB intensive process - e.g. 1.5+TB for the apidb, plus a separate tile cache / store. That's why I was looking at doing just a shorelines + rivers dump, which is still ~100GB for the apidb.
The workflow (which could use some serious improvement) I had in my mind (which could also use some improvement) was something like this: - take baseline earth with shorelines, rivers, lakes, etc. - people import current OSM for their region of interest (e.g. part of Rome, whatever) & strip out what wasn't there during the time period of interest or - people import external datasets for their period of interest - Jeff On Tue, Jan 22, 2013 at 10:26 AM, Rob Warren <[email protected]>wrote: > > Given that people sometimes use the current map to locate the area they > are interested in, it might be a good idea to bootstrap the database with a > current OSM dump.
