[Talk-transit] OSM / OPNV-Karte to Excel/SVG

[Christoph Boehme]

Hi Tiziano,

I am not aware of any tools which can do what you want out of the box. 
but here are some ideas which might be helpful for you:

I use Xapi [1] a lot to retrieve only a specific portion of the OSM data 
for a large area (e.g. all relations with a route=bus tag).

Once I have osm file with all the data I need, I find it quite 
convenient to use xslt to convert the xml data into other formats. I 
have some scripts that might be helpful to get the grip of xslt. If you 
are interested I can sent them to you. I use these scripts for example 
to convert nodes or ways from osm into sql insert statements, but you 
can easily create a csv files as well.

Topological maps can be created with mapnik which supports outputting 
svg files. If you use version 0.6.0 or newer you can directly use an osm 
file as data source.

I do not know of any tool to create a straight line graph of a way. I 
thought a while ago about writing a tool to draw such graphs but never 
got round to actually do it. My idea was to reproject the input data way 
segment by way segment so that it was on a straight line and then feed 
this into mapnik.

You could, of course, also write an xslt script which converts the osm 
data directly to mapnik.

Cheers,
Christoph
