Party Progress
September 8th, 2008
I’ve been playing with the diff import for osm2pgsql, which now works wonderfully, and trying to set up a (nearly) live tile-server. To test it, I set it running over the weekend after the Euston micro mapping party, grabbing some tiles every hour and turning them into a movie. It covers the period from about 5pm Friday to 10am this morning with one frame per hour.

Matt, this is so cool. I’m currently doing the same thing for the SF Bay Area, and I’m trying to understand how to correctly expire tiles based on the contents of those diff files.

Ummm… I’m actually expiring all the tiles each hour. Because I’m only grabbing about 60 tiles covering about 4 meta-tiles it isn’t that big a deal. I wouldn’t want to deploy it in production, though
