Re: Instructions for scanner

Thanks for the interest. I'm afraid the scanner isn't very productised. Not only isn't it very well documented, but it requires Nightly Rust. (Interestingly, though Nightly Rust is billed as super unstable, this code from 3 years ago still compiles just fine.)

There is a README.txt but it doesn't say how to run it. But, it's not that complicated: you download the appropriate rectangle as OSM XML and then you feed it to stdin. Something like xzcat data.osm.xz | cargo +nightly run.

You'll need to edit the START constant to be whatever centre you want.
