Yeah, sorry, I didn't think each item was worth a mail by itself.<br>

OSMXAPI can do selective downloads for low zoom levels: <a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Osmxapi">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Osmxapi</a><br><br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">

Thanks, I figured I could use the mapnik layer soon after I sent that mail<br>

Excellent! Having better defaults would be, well, better, though ;-)<br>

Aaah, would be nice to be able to tell that from the UI :) Maybe<br>
rename "download viewport to current layer" or similar? I guess I'll start<br>

Yes, exactly, though hardly a priority. Not worth the effort at this point, I<br>
