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

[Sam Vekemans]

That would be;
using

GroundTruth getdata -b=-115,50,-114,51

(that was just a guess at the coords)
it'll grab that area & name it 'output.osm'

or just use the OSM interface & zoom to the area and 'download'.

Xapi can also to a coord + zoom to get an area.

Or just use JOSM and save the "datalayer1" as your OSM file (if its
just the downtown core)
