<div dir="ltr">I'm pleased to say that the gosmore project has made significant progress this winter (|| latitude > 0 && echo summer ). The data format is already quite stable and the software has been tested on a number of different devices. You may also have seen the web routing service.<br>
<br>But I think the largest benefit to OSM will be the mobile editing. People whipping out their GPSs whenever they have a few spare minutes to check and update the map. Then postprocessing and uploading with JOSM.<br><br>
So to make it easy for them, I need to regularly generate and host OSM data for many (if not all countries). Doing it from here (South Africa) will be prohibitively expensive, but I guess one you may have rackspace on the net where I can run the cronjob. The process could work something like this :<br>
1. Download files from <a href="http://downloads.cloudmade.com/" target="_blank">http://downloads.cloudmade.com/</a> late at night.<br>2. Start rebuilding as soon as the first download is complete.<br>
3. Host the files.<br><br>Regards,<br>Nic<br><br></div>
