Thanks. From reading the wiki documentation and --help output I understood that was only there as a hack so you could import the planet on 32-bit systems, and that its indexes were only used for that. I've updated the wiki to clarify this a bit: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php?title=Osm2pgsql&diff=306449&oldid=304395 _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
