> I am a student at Durham University, working on a software

> I have been using Google Static Maps API, to download tiles, for my  
> PDA application, however it isn't quite flexible/accurate enough for  
> me to stitch together the tiles, so I have been looking into  
> OpenStreetMap, which looks ideal.

> However, one of the constraints of the project is we must use java  
> for both the desktop and PDA applications, I therefore can't use the  
> python scripts for downloading the tiles.

> I was wondering if your Export feature on http://www.openstreetmap.org/

> Thank you very much for your time reading this, and I hope
