Fresh & Local Each day, OSM Extracts by Interline mirrors the entire OpenStreetMap planet and creates city and region sized extracts. The perfect size to run your own regional routing engine (using, say, Valhalla), to generate your own map tiles, or to build your own creation (using QGIS or other GIS software).
Open OSM Extracts is inspired by Michal Migurski's Extractotron and Mapzen's Metro Extracts. Both are now defunct, but we've learned from them and built their best aspects into PlanetUtils (the open-source library that powers OSM Extracts).
