Hi, I had this problem the other day extracting data from the Wigan area, when I looked at what was being downloaded it was data that was connected/related to data that was inside the bbox I had selected. For example a large primary road (one _long_ way) was included even though the majority of it clearly outside of the bbox I had selected, from what I have read this happens by design. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/OSM_Protocol_Version_0.5#About_bounding_boxes "The following command returns: * All nodes that are inside a given bounding box and any relations that reference them. * All ways that reference at least one node that is inside a given bounding box, any relations that reference them [the ways], and any nodes outside the bounding box that the ways may reference. " That might be the cause of your issues, and if so there doesn't seem to be a way around it. If you find one let me know! - Daniel _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk
