[mkgmap-dev] Re: bad file format error

Mon May 18 21:49:56 BST 2009

Hi,

I've downloaded the same area from api.openstreetmap.org and everything
was fine there.

It seems that the new xapi implementation for 0.6 is now stable yet.

Thus, I don't think this is a mkgmap issue. Some people working on xapi
should be informed about this. Don't know which mailing list is the
right place therefor... Maybe, someone else knows it...

Regards,
  Andre
