I would really like to be able do something like: osm-get-maps Norway osm-get-maps Oslo to download maps for a country and a city, respectively. I had a look at the OSM[1] site, but couldn't find any such tools there at least.

Is there a way to preload map packages from openstreemaps based on coordinates? So that we can create city or country maps, without actually being there ? :) Paul ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
Re: maps for others country?
Hi Alessio, Yes, Locations will automatically download maps from Open Street Maps. IF the backend found that it can access to the network. Therefore, you can create your own personal map, (even package for sharing). How? 1. Let Neo connect to the Internet. 2. Turn on Locations, 3. Zoom in to the location you are interested and drag around. 4. login to Neo 5. follows the instruction of http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Om2008.8_Locations#Create_Offline_Maps Last time I and some colleagues went to KenTin http://www.ktnp.gov.tw/ for holidays, we just create a map before departure, it's very interesting. If you are geek enough, you can even create maps using Google Maps, Yahoo Maps, ... for personal usage. (Please don't share non-share-able maps.)
