Base Map

We have out-of-the-box the ability to use OpenStreetMap Tiles as base layer.

This can include local OSM sites (OSM Taiwan is included as an example)

Local Tile Server

If you need to run offline then you need to set up your own Tile Server:

• ​http://switch2osm.org/serving-tiles/manually-building-a-tile-server-12-04/

Vector Overlays

Can have OSM Vectors displayed over the top of other Base Layers (e.g. Satellite Images)

• BluePrint/GIS/OSMLayers

Import

We have an XSLT stylesheet to import .osm files

e.g for hospitals and clinics:

osmosis --read-xml country.osm --tf accept-nodes amenity=hospital,clinic --tf reject-ways --tf reject-relations --write-xml nodes.osm
osmosis --read-xml country.osm --tf reject-relations --tf accept-ways amenity=hospital,clinic --used-node --write-xml ways.osm
osmosis --rx nodes.osm --rx ways.osm --merge --wx country_hospitals.osm
http://myhost.com/eden/hms/hospital/create.osm?filename=country_hospitals.osm

This needs more work to understand the admin hierarchy properly to be able to import Places.

Geofabrik have updated extracts daily for Pakistan:

Otherwise pull a BBOX directly using Osmosis:

Osmosis requires Java. Python options for filtering based on tag, which would be more suitable for integration within Sahana, however we need to add Polygon filtering using Shapely:

• ​ParsePBF
  • ​http://blog.lifeeth.in/2011/02/extract-pois-from-osm-pbf.html

Ruby script to generate KML of recently-added locations by a group of users:
