I use GroundTruth getdata command (it's an easy windows thing, for those non-ibuntu people). ...
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/GroundTruth_Manual#getdata_Command groundtruth getdata -bu="http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=45.415&lon=-75.704&zoom=11&layers=B000FTF"; It creates a little file called *output.osm *You can also use the bounds option instead bounds Option Specifies map boundaries in the following order: <minlat>,<minlong>,<maxlat>,<maxlong>. Example: groundtruth getdata -b=10,20.3,15,22.33 using http://touren.mospace.de/kachel.html it has a fun tile calculator and has nice ready-made garmin maps (but that's not what the person was asking), anyway you get this when you zoom to Ottawa srtm2osm -bounds1 45 -76 46 -75 -o 53258856.osm so its groundtruth getdata -b=45,-76,46,-75 ... so that'll make a handy 1degree x 1 degree of all of OSM data for the Ottawa area .. and while where at it, you can download any 1x1 degree tile a handy big map which remembers all of the tile names can be found here http://ulrichkuester.de/OSM/CoordinateToOSMTile.html Cheers, Sam On Wed, Apr 21, 2010 at 10:34 AM, Dan Putler <dan.put...@sauder.ubc.ca>wrote: > Hi John, > > Cloudmade creates extracts of some of OSM and distributes it in several > different formats.
