Since the demise of metrozen extracts, I don't know of a good site outside of Geofabrik to get regulary updated OSM extracts of California.

<br>
on the Geofabrik download server, we usually split up countries into<br>
sub-regions once their single .osm.pbf has gone over a certain size. The<br>
aim is to make it easy for people to work with data just for their<br>
region, even on lower-spec hardware where it might be difficult to<br>
handle huge files.<br>
<br>
Every once in a while I check the list of not-yet-split countries and<br>
split up the largest of them. The current top of the list is<br>
<br>
1. Netherlands<br>
2. California<br>
3. Indonesia<br>
4. Spain<br>
5. Czech Republic<br>
6. Brazil<br>
7. Ontario<br>
8. Norway<br>
9. Austria<br>
10. India<br>
<br>
Hence the next country I'll split up is the Netherlands, but after that,<br>
for the first time ever, a second-level entity (California) will be<br>
larger than all not-yet-split countries.<br>
<br>
So I wonder:<br>
<br>
1. is there already a site where someone interested in only a subset of<br>
California can download current data and potentially also daily diffs?<br>
<br>
2. is there a demand for this?<br>
<br>
3. what would be a sensible way to split California - in 58 counties, or<br>
maybe just go with SoCal and NorCal for now?<br>
<br>
Bye<br>
Frederik<br>
