OSMXAPI - Compression?
When calling for a bbox in order to make a map for my Garmin the process
currently takes about 15mins for the query to process and the transfer to
start. That's fine. Then I have to wait a further half hour+ for the 80MB
XML file to reach me. Wouldn't that part of the process help if the file was
compressed before transfer? Or is this already possible?

Cheers
