It might be worth mentioning this on the export page itself. In any case, excellent work. I'm going to have to start investigating the use of the main OSM codebase for the OpenPisteMap website - things like the export tab would be extremely useful there. - Steve xmpp:[EMAIL PROTECTED] sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.nexusuk.org/ Servatis a periculum, servatis a maleficum - Whisper, Evanescence ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk

I guess the size of the export really is a question of performance, as there's only a finite amount of processing power that can be devoted to the export functionality. If you need such larger chunks, you could try and download successive bits of the extent you need and paste them together again, or write a custom script that directly downloads the relevant tiles.

Re: [OSM-talk] New Export Tab
Hello, Axel : The scale bar provided currently (April 21, 2008) by the main browser at www.openstreetmap.org is wrong. The image you get with the Export tab has no scale bar, so I recommend to use the Export tab and compute the scale bar yourself.

No, because it would be too computationally expensive to produce such maps. In the case of the bitmap images it would require vast amounts of memory and in the case of the vector images they would be unusable even if you could produce them as the files would be so large that rendering them would take forever. > (WARNING DWEEB QUESTIONS) > - Is it possible to import the XML-file into Illustrator? Not unless Illustrator has magically gained an understanding of OpenStreetMap XML data while I wasn't looking, at that seems extremely unlikely. Your best bet will be to take the mapnik SVG/PDF/PS image and import that - Illustrator should be able to read at least one of those. > - When I use this map, how can I tell the scale and projection when > printing?

The scale will be (give or take) what you asked for in the case of mapnik - there is as I explained yesterday one possible issue over the question of DPI assumptions with the vector formats. With the mapnik bitmaps formats, if you assume the bitmap to be a 96 DPI image then the scale should be what you asked for I think. The projection is the Google spherical mercator projection for both mapnik and osmarender images (aka EPSG 900913).

Re: [OSM-talk] New Export Tab
And another lolcat goes to TomH :) The idea was floating around for some time but I think he really has done a good job here. I wasn't expecting the export tab to work that way but I really like how he's done it! Easy and nice to work with. Congrats. Renaud.

Hi, Patrick Weber wrote: > Just wanted to congratulate whoever was involved in the development of > the Export tab. +1. I guess it was TomH's work and there's no reason not to announce such a major development on the lists (for the benefit of those who don't use the trac RSS feed). If it hadn't been for Andy's mention I'd probably still tell people to download map tiles and glue them together if they want a quick bitmap ;-) Apart from being useful to create a default styled map, the Export tab gives me the excellent rebuke to anyone who says "why don't you use Google": "Sure, where's *their* Export tab?".
