[OSM-dev] {To Shaun} Re: OSM Data Question from FireGirl

[Fire Girl]

Thank you so much Shaun!  May I ask,.... what is most straightforward
procedure to delineate the planet.osm file, to specified regions....
let's say New York or the United States for starters? :) I am most
interested in that approach, that isn't too convoluted or difficult
per-se, and produces clean data :)

    Hello, I am new to this group and hoping someone can help me. I
    like the open street mapping concept and want to work with this
    data desperately in my own pool. :) I basically have a couple of
    questions,

    *|*) Can OSM data be purchased in a database/table format? Or
    open source in some big glob (huge) format? :-)


  If you wish to donate to the OpenStreetMap project to keep the
  servers running, you are more than welcome to.http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Planet.osm
  will help you get the data.



    ......secondly, well, mostly I am working with some new dev tools
    to work with this data, ... and strongly prefer having my own as
    current as possible data to work from. Anyone have any ideas how
    to get there? :-)


  Take a look at the Development page on our wiki.http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Develop
  It gives you all the information that you need. Our tools are open
  source, so you can use them as long as you adhere to the GPL or
  whichever other license is on the data.
  There is plenty more pages on the wiki that you will find useful.
