The dutch openstreetmap community set up some automated routines to generate planet extracts from the huge OpenStreetMap planet (~ 11 Gb)
The extracts are updated daily by processing diffs and always represent the latest data available for the extract region.
The islands are extremely useful for testing, especially because they always have a bounded road network and form a detached “geosphere”
Currently the following extracts are available at planet.openstreetmap.nl:
- Aruba (~ 500Kb compressed)
- Benelux (~ 750Mb compressed)
- Bonaire (~ 300Kb compressed)
- Curacao (~ 500Kb compressed)
- Haiti (~ 40Mb compressed)
- Saba (~ 2Kb compressed)
- St. Eustatius (~ 20Kb compressed)
- St. Maarten (~ 350Kb compressed)
