People are so mean, right?

The coordinates are iirc rounded to 0.15 deg, which is rather poor for many purposes but still more useful than no data.

I don't speak Hungarian, but if someone translates the main website then I can pick the strings from there. openstreetmap.hu only has about 3 translatable strings so it would be a quicky :-)

Bienvenido!
Si te refieres al tiempo que demora la capa mapnik en la web principal en actualizarse, es entre una hora y dos horas (porque se usan los archivos con cambios que se generan a cada hora) para los cambios mas basicos, pero hay algunos tipos de cambios, en particular los que contienen relaciones, que solamente le llegan a mapnik los jueves cuando se re-renderiza todo. O asi es como deberia ser.. en la practica muchas veces demora dias o semanas. Si necesitas que sea mas rapido, en la otra capa, la osmarender puedes solicitar que se actualice alguna parte cuando tu decidas, usando informationfreeway.org

Thanks for the suggestions, as for pbzip in case of the dual core CPU it could give at most 2x speedup which would still make the compression the bottleneck in the whole process (but note that the second core isn't idle either, so perhaps less than 2x). If the benchmark I linked is to be trusted, you would need to be running pbzip on an 8-or-so-core system for it to be able to compete with gzip in terms of both compression and decompression.

(I haven't recompiled the bzip or gzip per se, but I'm running this on a Gentoo system and I let the system "build itself" with what it thought was good, I set the CFLAGS quite aggresively including -O3, -march=athlon64, -msse, -m3dnow)

And as for LZO: oooh I think that's what I was really looking for when I googled LZMA yesterday (didn't remember the exact name). I'll try it on one of the planets this week and report back.

Hey,
I've just set up openstreetmap.pl and I permitted myself to copy most (all) of your design which looks very slick. I'll be modifying it from there on as time permits, but at the moment it looks almost identically, just the site is in Polish. The placement of the controls lower on the screen was a bit of a challenge to me too and I've only found a quite poor solution so far.

Good job mapping Chile!

Cheers
