Hi Matt<br><br>Thanks for the effort. I use the three Tasmanian GPS downloads big time for creating bushwalking maps and using my Garmin 62s for urban and country mapping. Being on a 3G network plan data limits are a pretty major thing for me so by just getting Tassie I can zero in on my area of interest.<br><br>Thanks Brett<br><br><div><div id="SkyDrivePlaceholder"></div>> Date: Sat, 6 Oct 2012 19:08:54 +1000<br>> From: mattwhite@iinet.com.au<br>> To: talk-au@openstreetmap.org<br>> Subject: Re: [talk-au] FW: OSM Australia Garmin downloads have gone bung ?<br>> <br>> Sorry for the delayed response, and the missed emails people have been <br>> sending... I sort of dropped out of the OSM thing for a bit there (the <br>> whole license thing gave me the shits, so I walked away for a while), <br>> but I'm slowly getting back into it.<br>> <br>> OK, so hopefully the generation is back on it's feet and working again - <br>> there is a full set available at the moment, but they were done <br>> semi-manually. The automated generation run kicks off tonight, but it <br>> seems that parts of the process are now taking longer than they used to, <br>> so the new file from tonight's generation probably won't start appearing <br>> until 7am Saturday. It's seems to be taking around 6 hours to generate <br>> the various maps, then a fair amount of time to upload the 400 Mb of <br>> files on my works poor hammered ADSL internet connection (the whole <br>> thing is throttled uploads, as I have to let work backup it's data as <br>> well at the same time - bring on the NBN....).<br>> <br>> Also, for the moment, I am no longer uploading the individual <br>> australia.osm and newzealand.osm files - they are available as single <br>> files from Frederick Ramm's site <br>> (http://download.geofabrik.de/openstreetmap/australia-oceania/), so I <br>> don't see much point in chewing another 400mb upload as well<br>> <br>> Cheers<br>> <br>> Matt<br>> <br>> www.osmaustralia.org<br>> <br>> _______________________________________________<br>> Talk-au mailing list<br>> Talk-au@openstreetmap.org<br>> http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au<br></div> </div></body>
