Hi, I'm PHD Student from Poland. I'm working on using open source software and data for aidin crime analisis. And I want to geocode at least 14000 records in one go. So i need to create offline geocoder. My Question is: how can i download data form Poland with all attribution needed tocreat offline address locator? Planet OSM is no good for this task. Reason is lack of attribution. Thanks |

Planet.osm is all we have. If that's not good enough for you, then OSM is not good enough for you, and you will have to go and pay a load of money and get a commercial dataset for Poland. Having said that, your conclusion "need to geocode 14k addresses" => "have to install offline geocoder" is not necessarily right; the MapQuest Nominatim instance can easily deal with 14k requests if you don't make them all at once. Hm, A need all attributes needed for geocoding. Planet OSM dataset has only names of streets(not all) and info about changes made to dataset - when , who, what. I need at least names of all the streets, not mentioning numbers. is it possible? Mapquest as google and yahoo and batchgeocode can geocode 14k records but in 3 weeks:) it's not an option:)

The planet file has everything we know. It has the names of all streets that are in the current OSM data base. Also, I have only recently geocoded 10k records in about two hours with Mapquest so you might be mistaken there.

could you improve your question ? you say "can I download data from Poland with all attribution" and later "reason is lack of attribution". What for attribution ? Address ? Place ? Addresses missing in OSM ? You mean "lack of addresses in OSM for Poland" ?
I'm wondering if when you say "Planet OSM is no good for this task" you're being misunderstood. Could you expand on that a bit?
