[OSM-talk] osm2shp

[Matthew Perry]

Nick,

 I'm not sure if this is in the works already but it would be nice to
see 3 output shapefiles; one each for points (eg place names), lines
(the roads) and polygons (closed ways, parks, etc).

And this one is a long shot but have you considered writing osm2shp as
an OGR driver (http://www.gdal.org/ogr/). It would allow you to
convert OSM to/from any of the formats already supported
(http://www.gdal.org/ogr/ogr_formats.html). Just a thought.

Thanks,
matt
