 I was also planning to offer alternative downloads that have a country's
 full bounding box instead of the exact borders. Would that be good for
 you?

Hi Frederik,

If you still intend to provide data with full bounding boxes, would you
please add another few kilometers around the boxes?


Regards,
Hakan

[OSM-talk] Geofabrik planet extracts

2008-03-30 Thread Ben Laenen
A question to the person who's in charge of the extracts at 
http://download.geofabrik.de/osm/europe/ :

is it possible to add an extra 10km wide strip outside the country 
borders? The borders data which is now used is apparently quite low 
resolution, so it cuts off some big pieces of the country right now...

Greetings
Ben

 Hi,

  I'm trying to cut stuff exactly at the border, in case people want to
  run statistics (how many miles of road in France, etc). If my border
  polygons are wrong, I'm happy to convert them to .osm files for you and
  ask you to fix them in JOSM (most of the border polygons I use are
  directly from the DCW web site).
 
  Could we include these Border poligons as areas into OSM-Main database or
  is the license not allowing it?

 The license is somewhat unclear, I think it's ok for me to make extracts
 based on the data but I'd rather not put it into OSM and take
 responsibility for distributing it under CC-BY-SA.

OK ... So we should start getting official Country Borders and refine them :-)
