Alright so worked on making my own routable map since it appears most of the
premade ones are european.

I couldn't get the XAPI downloads working at all, I think I saw somewhere
that it's currently not working so you have to download planet.osm instead?

So after not being able to get that working right I tried using JOSM for it.

Is there any script or plugin for JOSM that can take a larger area and split
it into smaller ones automatically and download it piecemeal?  Trying to get
Vancouver Washington, Portland OR and Salem OR but it'll take me forever to
get little chunks downloaded one by one.

Also FYI to all the n00bs like me out there... you won't be able to get a
large metro area of data into JOSM by double-clicking it's icon.  You'll
have to manually set it's memory limit to at least 500MB or so, mine is
using about 550MB right now and I still have a lot of gaps to fill.

java -jar -Xmx500M josm-latest.jar
Change the mem from 500 to what you need and the josm name to what you have.
