Hi,<br><br> it took me a bit longer than expected but here's my tool for<br>creating historic OSM coverage animations:<br><br><a href="http://openstreetmap.gryph.de/history/">http://openstreetmap.gryph.de/history/</a>
<br><br>It generates animated GIF images of (almost) any area and size, and you<br>can specify a date range and how many planet files you want it to use.<br>It paints dots (or filled rectangles/circles) for each node; you can
<br>have a landsat or vmap0 background or an empty one if you prefer.<br><br>Since creation of these images takes some time (around 5 minutes if you<br>request all of Europe), the service uses a queue mechanism, i.e. you<br>
tell it what you want and come back later to see the results. All<br>results are visible to all visitors.<br><br>The request form is a bit cluttered but I trust you will find it useful.<br>It is not really intended for the "end user" (why would they be
<br>interested in what data OSM had half a year ago), rather for the<br>individual mapper(s) who want to see the progress they've made over time.<br><br>Some examples are already up on the site.</blockquote><div><br>Cool, looks good!
