Does anyone know where there is some basic information on Kosmos other than the Wiki which seems out of date and aimed at people that already know how to use it? I’m completely stumped as to how to start!
I also get this error when I try and download OSM data, but I could be doing it completely wrong!
If you are using the latest version of Kosmos (2.5.something) then it should be OK with the 0.6 API, but it reads data from the hypercube XAPI server which has been down for a while: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Platform_Status
No. You can download an area in JOSM, then save as an OSM file, then load it into Kosmos.
Works fine (though you limited by how big an area you can download at once).
