bleh. storage looks like a deal-breaker, especially for a mobile platform (truckputer). Have you experimented with subsets of the planet, e.g. CONUS or smaller (SE, NE, etc)? Is it feasible to extract a subset of the OSM data and convert to shapefile ? -Jason kg4wsv _______________________________________________ Xastir mailing list [email protected] http://xastir.org/mailman/listinfo/xastir
