[Talk-ca] Best way to keep OSM data "up to date" locally...

[Tyler Gunn]

After accidentally not including the talk-ca list in my discussions, I'll
start this off again. :)

I'd like to keep a Garmin map of Winnipeg up to date.  Easy enough to do
with a script to run mkgmap on my linux box.  However, I'm just curious
what the easiest way is to keep an up to date copy of the date for Winnipeg
on my machine?

I realize I could get a planet.osm and apply the diff files to keep it up
to date.  However since my interest is in a small area I would assume that
this is not the most effective.  I searched around and the best I can come
up with is to run a query on the XAPI servers every couple of days
(http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/XAPI).  Does this correspond to your
experiences?

THanks!
