Whats the diffrence of generating it yourselve and downloading it ?
Its still the same size, but if you download a zipped file you must have twice the space than if you generate it yourselve ;)

+ If you generate it yourselve you can check off some zooms and stuff ;)

15gb is for planet.osm, i just need Poland extracted and that would be much lower, right?

Makes sense :)

On openstreetmap.org, Poland looks pretty empty to me. Warschaw has some detail, but I think "geodata for Poland" isn't too useful, because most streets won't be in it yet anyway.

ehh.. too bad ;/ Btw, what about south Ireland? Is it empty as well?

You can check that for yourself :).

Nieko:

would you be able to make some map-editor that whe could edit streetnames on generated googlemaps ? And then save it to geodata.dat? you can edit maps on
http://openstreetmap.org/ but after that you still have to download planet.osm and export what you need.. its usless..

I think that you could add some options to GMDL where you can put names for streets and generate geoadata..

its just an idea :) What you think?

I don't think that's a good idea, or I'm not quite getting it. The idea of geodata is that you can look up streets in a particular area, and that's not much use if that data isn't anywhere near complete (you might as well make a POI file with those few streets you need).

I only started working on Dutch geodata when the AND import was done, and basically the entire Netherlands was available.

AND provided Dutch geodata and is a provider of various map and navigation solutions, like Map24 and mapquest.com

Maybe you can email them on the status of geodata and/or maps of Poland.

Donation to Openstreetmap won't happen that often since that material is licensed and very very expensive (think in amounts of 200-500 dollars).

woohoo, awesome!
Works quite well, it's actually able to find my street, the postal-code is reported incorrectly though :P
