Yes, we would all like to see an easy to use out-of-the-box solution 
with all the features we like. But unfortunatly there aren't that much 
Devs that are familar with OSM data processing and the most of them are 
very busy with their own projects.

Other users recommend NAVIT that has a improved map loader compared to 
the original source.
