The geobase2osm.py script lets you pass a bounds file (with the -b option). This will only include roads that pass through the bounds specified in the file. So you can take the full provincial GML files but only generate .osm files for smaller chunks. As Jason mentions in his other post, adjoining chunks will have duplicate ways. I don't think it will be that difficult to eliminate these duplicates though. We just need a script that searches for two OSM ways with the same geobase_nid that occupy the same space, and delete one of them + merge in any adjoining ways. > > James > VE6SRV > Steve _______________________________________________ Talk-ca mailing list Talk-ca@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ca
