[HOT] Splitting an OSM extract into multiple chunks (with Osmosis, other)?

[Sébastien Pierrel]

Hi Jaakko,

I guess osmosis should do the job pretty easily. Have you tried its front
end called membrane? It's got a nice GUI to design osmosis pipelines and
execute the jobs. It can also generate a bat script to run osmosis from the
command line.

I could probably help if you want Hispaniola to be sliced up periodically.

Cheers,
/Seb.
