That could work. Is "every couple of days" close enough to "up to date" for you? As I understand it you can apply diff files to an extract as well as to the entire planet. So you could have a local extract and keep it right up to date, then generate your Garmin files on your schedule. _______________________________________________ Talk-ca mailing list Talk-ca@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ca
