bleh. storage looks like a deal-breaker, especially for a mobile platform (truckputer).
Oh yeah, I didn't mention that my rendered tiles are stored on a three-spindle (virtual) RAID array that I also managed to fill up the other day while the updates were down because I had filled up the SSDs. It's not a "set and forget" undertaking.
Have you experimented with subsets of the planet, e.g. CONUS or smaller (SE, NE, etc)?
Given the time and resources required, I focused solely on the whole planet because I wanted to be able to serve tiles to anyone anywhere if it became necessary. At the time I put it together, I had received a "bad-boy" notice from the osm tile server folks saying that my APRSISCE/32 application was in the top 10 tile consumers. I replied back to them explaining that their terms had changed after I had deployed (thanks to them having a wiki with publicly visible history) and that I was following all of the guidelines that existed at the time. They haven't bothered me since, but I still wonder just how much load that app is presenting to their servers.
Is it feasible to extract a subset of the OSM data and convert to shapefile ?
