[OSM-talk] problems with G'o

[OSM-talk] tags for businesses

Re: [OSM-talk] Err, what?

Someone could do a render with 2007 roads in red, 2008 roads in orange, 2009 roads in yellow... etc. I'm sure such tiles could be generated and used for flickr.

[OSM-talk] information on tiles

hi, I am doing a lot of work compiling svg images using osmarender. Takes a long time. Apparently it would be faster if I compiled tiles - so could someone point me to resources on tiles. How big are they? how does one split a map into tiles? How are they combined? (or does what I am asking mak
