[Talk-GB] Size of download into JOSM

[Stuart Reynolds]

Hi,

Does anyone know if the limits on download size have changed recently? I’ve 
been working on the schools project by downloading “Southend on Sea” via a 
place search and then choosing “boundary” from the list of 2 - that gives me 
the whole Borough in one go. But today (having upgraded to r9329) it is telling 
me that it is a bad request and that the area is too large. It’s a pain if I 
want to work on multiple schools to have to download bits of the town.

Thanks.

Stuart

It's a limitation in the API (quarter of a degree or 50k nodes IIRC), so
Southend has crept over that limit.

There are a number of options:

   - Perform multiple downloads & then keep a Southend file locally. You
   can then request that it be updated before editing (I do this for a couple
   of areas of London where I edit sporadically).
   - It's easy to download just the schools in Overpass & do something
   similar in JOSM. I'm not sure how one might get all objects within multiple
   schools in Overpass but it might be possible.
   - Download schools as centroids from Overpass, load into JOSM and use
   the todo plugin to work through them downloading small areas for each
   school. I'm doing something like this using FHRS data in Northern Ireland
   (although the postcode centroids used by FHRS are often 100s of metres away
   from the school).

Thanks. I discovered that I *can* actually get the whole Borough, if I dispense 
with about a mile and a half of sea to the south. As there aren’t many schools 
down the pier, I thought I could probably live with that :)

Will take your advice and save locally / update.

Cheers
Stuart
