I am delighted to announce that we have now increased 'OSM Mapper' coverage to include Africa, the Middle East, Asia, Australasia, South America and Canada. More details available on our blog:
http://itoworld.blogspot.com/2008/08/expanded-coverage-for-osm-mapper.html If you don't know what 'OSM Mapper' is then a good place to start is to check out our original announcement: http://itoworld.blogspot.com/2008/07/new-osm-mapper-for-openstreetmap.html Btw, we are only leaving the USA out for now because it is a very large dataset and we need a bit of time to allow this new expanded area to settle down and then the USA is next on our list. Do subscribe to our blog to learn about future enhancements to the product and coverage. For those of you who noticed the problem with our daily update for a few days last week, you might be interested to know that this was caused by a big increase in the size of the European dataset when a new large bulk import arrived which exploded our import process and prompted us to do this work a little earlier than we intended! We should now be back with regular daily updates and sorry about the inconvenience in the mean time. We have also made some minor improvement to the product's functionality: we added a link to the OSM feature browser so you can see more details about a feature and its history, we have fixed some problems with accessing pages without first having signed in our site which caused problems for RSS users in particular, we have improved the map quality by drawing selected features on top and we have improved our bounding box algorithm to stop large features such as long ferry routes from appearing incorrectly in area reports. More details on our blog soon. If you have any suggestions for the product then do please add them on the OSM wiki here: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/OSM_Mapper Regards, Peter Miller Ito World Ltd www.itoworld.com
