[OSM-talk] Navit format downloads

[Steve Chilton]

Direct to llustrator (AI) format - with information layered.
This would hugely advance the potential for takeup of the data by
"traditional cartographers".

Subject: [OSM-talk] Navit format downloads

Hello,

Over at downloads.cloudmade.com, we've just added Navit format files
for most countries of the world derived from OSM data.  The Navit
files will be updated each week, shortly after planet is released.  We
had a quick look at Navit on Frday afternoon - the files load and
allow routing, but there are a few rough edges, like flight paths in
Germany.

Navit's been around for a while now and it seems like a cool project.
Are many people in OSM using it regularly?  If so, what platforms are
you using it on?  It would be awesome to get it running on Open Tom -
its Linux / GTK based, so this should be feasible.

You can grab the Europe Navit file from :

The format was requested by Wolfgang Silbermayr from the Navit
project.  I'd love to host more formats, so please shout out if
there's something else that would be useful.
