    If you want an offline map in the Android maps app, you select an area to download and it does just that. Any area.

    Getting a distance figure from driving directions is more useful, and a feature OSM doesn't have by lack of directions.

    Both these tools use make as a backend, and some of the new features (--trace and --output-sync, for instance) will be useful even for users of automake and cmake.
