[Talk-GB] Size of download into JOSM

[Stuart Reynolds]

Thanks. I discovered that I *can* actually get the whole Borough, if I dispense with about a mile and a half of sea to the south. As there aren’t many schools down the pier, I thought I could probably live with that :)

Will take your advice and save locally / update.

Cheers
Stuart

It's a limitation in the API (quarter of a degree or 50k nodes IIRC), so Southend has crept over that limit.

There are a number of options:

  *   Perform multiple downloads & then keep a Southend file locally. You can then request that it be updated before editing (I do this for a couple of areas of London where I edit sporadically).
  *   It's easy to download just the schools in Overpass & do something similar in JOSM. I'm not sure how one might get all objects within multiple schools in Overpass but it might be possible.
  *   Download schools as centroids from Overpass, load into JOSM and use the todo plugin to work through them downloading small areas for each school. I'm doing something like this using FHRS data in Northern Ireland (although the postcode centroids used by FHRS are often 100s of metres away from the school).

Hi,

Does anyone know if the limits on download size have changed recently? I’ve been working on the schools project by downloading “Southend on Sea” via a place search and then choosing “boundary” from the list of 2 - that gives me the whole Borough in one go. But today (having upgraded to r9329) it is telling me that it is a bad request and that the area is too large. It’s a pain if I want to work on multiple schools to have to download bits of the town.

Thanks.

Stuart
