Based on Andrew Guertin's work for UVM I have released a new version of<br>
ogr2osm<br>
It can be found at <a href="https://github.com/pnorman/ogr2osm" target="_blank">https://github.com/pnorman/ogr2osm</a><br>
<br>
Improvements and bug fixes over the previous version include<br>
<br>
- MultiLineStrings are broken up into multiple LineStrings<br>
- More readable raw XML<br>
- Support for keys or values which require escaping in the XML<br>
- upload=false is set by default to help prevent accidental uploads<br>
- Support for shapefile directories<br>
- Significant speed improvements when dealing with data sources where<br>
multiple geometries share points in common. What used to take hours now<br>
takes minutes.<br>
<br>
Installation instructions can be found at<br>
<a href="https://github.com/pnorman/ogr2osm#installation" target="_blank">https://github.com/pnorman/ogr2osm#installation</a><br>
<br>
ogr2osm has three main advantages over other tools that can convert<br>
shapefiles<br>
- It handles the reprojection for you<br>
- It can deal with shapefile directories which is what gdal uses to handle<br>
multiple layers with shapefiles<br>
- It accepts a python function for converting from datasource tagging to OSM<br>
tagging, allowing you to use more complicated logic to come up with better<br>
OSM tagging<br>
<br>
As always, potential importers are reminded about the import guidelines.<br>
ogr2osm allows you to write a good conversion to OSM tagging. It doesn't do<br>
the rest of the work for you and it won't contact the community before<br>
importing for you. You still have to do all of these yourself.<br>
<br>
If anyone has good well-commented examples of translations files I welcome<br>
pull requests against <a href="https://github.com/pnorman/ogr2osm-translations" target="_blank">https://github.com/pnorman/ogr2osm-translations</a><br>
