[OSM-talk] Download Tiles
Hi all Is there an easy way to download all Tiles? I'm sure to have all mapnic tiles on my netbook I need some GByte - but that's not a big Problem. Is there a zip-file with all tiles somewhere? Bernhard ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk

No, but you can generate them yourself: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Mapnik Laptops are capable of rendering tiles live locally. It's not just some GigaBytes, rather tens of TerraBytes.

Not all tiles have been rendered, you don't really need all of them. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tiles Shaun ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk

TomH mode No, and attempting to download all tiles is a sure way to get your IP number banned at the server. /TomH mode It is also likely to max out your hard drive, as all tiles (for the whole world at zoom level 17) would require something like 20 terabytes of storage. Is there a zip-file with all tiles somewhere? To the best of my knowledge, zip files only support 256k files per zip archive. You would be downloading roughly 75.000 individual zip files of about 250 MB each.
