[OSM-dev] downloading partial tilesets to serve locally

[Tom Lancaster]

Hi,

newhanoian.com has been leading an effort to complete the OSM Hanoi map
recently, and we're at a point where we'd like to use OSM tiles in place of
our custom Gmaps + tilelayer solution. Since we're in vietnam we'd like to
download a tileset for Hanoi and the surrounding area and serve it from our
server rather than rely on tile.openstreetmap.org, which is network-distant.

I've read a lot of stuff on the wiki, but I don't see how to do this without
downloading the whole world's tileset. It would seem it's possible as I can
download data for a limited area to JOSM.

Any pointers on how to download tiles for a defined lat/long box will be
much appreciated.

Thanks,

Tom
