Android Question OpenStreetMap using .PBF?

Hello,

I'd like to ask if there's a solution to use the maps from OpenStreetMap project using directly the .PBF files (offline) that are freely available for download.

For instance, http://download.geofabrik.de/europe.html has every country in Europe being updated daily in that vector format so using such a file would give an immense advantage over the OsmDroid tiles approach, which may be downloaded or generated but take up a huge amount of space and time.

I would also like to ask if using the alternative SHP or OSM formats is possible in a similar way, if PBF is not (which I would expect).

Any info over this please?

Thank you!
Adrian

Do you have your friuli-venezia-giulia.osm file inside your C:\osmosis\bin\osmosis folder? Because that's where it looks for that file...

Yes!!


C:\osmosis\bin\osmosis --rb file=albania-latest.osm.pbf --mapfile-writer file=test.map type=hd
for test I also tried to download albania-latest.osm.pbf but I always return the same error!

In your original post you have an error.
You're trying to convert an XML file friuli-venezia-giulia.osm but using the osmosis --rb parameter which is the read binary file parameter.
To read an XML file you need to use the --rx parameter:

B4X: 
C:\osmosis\bin\osmosis --rx file=friuli-venezia-giulia.osm --mapfile-writer file=friuli-venezia-giulia.map type=hd

Look here, the list of 'Built in tasks' documents the available command line parameters.

Martin.

It's can't find the mapwriter plugin i think:

org.openstreetmap.osmosis.core.OsmosisRuntimeException: Task type mapfile-writer
doesn't exist.

Not sure why, the path you say you have the plugin installed to looks ok according to the documentation.

Shame on Windows - it can't even be easily set up to use osmosis and the mapfile-writer!
Here on Ubuntu the conversion originally failed...

Osmosis required a bbox parameter as the friuli-venezia-giulia.osm.bz2 data doesn't contain that data.
If you visit: http://www.openstreetmap.org/export#map=9/46.1170/13.1204 and click the Export you'll see the min and max latitude and longitude values i used in the osmosis command line.

With the bbox parameters added to the command line it soon converted your data to a mapsforge database.

Here's the mapsforge database: http://b4a.martinpearman.co.uk/mapsforge/friuli-venezia-giulia.map.

I seem to remember that Osmosis can be used to combine various vector map files into a single new vector map file but can't be sure.
Take a look here: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Category:Osmosis
Look through the various links and examples and see if you can see any 'combine' options.

You could look for a .map download here: http://www.androidmaps.co.uk/
The map downloads available on that link have the 'coastline fix' - when rendered they properly display the coast instead of displaying some coastal areas as blank.

Might publish your mapsforge samples apk in b4a code, because I tried to check on different devices and falls ... would be very helpful to learn some new techniques on this topic maps and others ... thanks

i contact you to consult about osmosis and mapsforge-write plugin:

1. how this osmosis and plugin is installed in windows.

2. how installed the plugin in osmosis for Acknowledge this within your command line ... i not understand.

3. how I can convert .pbf to . map ... if you have a command line osmosis that works.

I have reviewed many forums and nothing even B4A ... and the information is unclear, there are also maps that let you trim from the internet and save in .map but I need to edit and then save (this is my big problem)

thank you advanced

After reading several forums this is what I think works:

1. Download: osmosis-latest


2. Unzip eg: C:\osmosis


3. copy a plugin such as: mapsforge-map-writer-0.5.0-jar-with-dependencies.jar in c: \ osmosis \ lib \ default \, at this point one should copy a version of this plugin **once**, but osmosis give an error.


4. verify that C: \ osmosis \ config \ plexus.conf:

......................................................................................
main is org.openstreetmap.osmosis.core.Osmosis from osmosis.core
[Osmosis.core]
app.home load $ {} / lib / default / *. jar
app.home load $ {} / config
.................................................. .......................................
This is place where osmosis will read our plugin ((load app.home} $ {/ lib / default / *. jar))

5. No do this because it gives an error or overload osmosis:
..................................................................................................................
Put the jar plugin into the $ OSMOSIS_HOME / lib / default directory and add the org.openstreetmap.osmosis.plugin.elasticsearch.elasticsearchWriterPluginLoader (full namespace of your plugin loader) line into the $ OSMOSIS_HOME / config / osmosis-plugins.conf file ( create it if Necessary).
.................................................................................................................
or
.................................................................................................................
Also You can edit the $ OSMOSIS_HOME / config / plexus.conf and add it to load line: such as $ {app.home} / lib / plugins / *. Jar with $ {app.home} / lib / plugins / directory container containing your plugin.
..................................................................................................................

6. Use a .bat file to indicate something like this:
.................................................................................................................
osmosis ^

--read-pbf file="/C:/osmosis/bin/mapa.pbf" outPipe.0=1 ^

--bounding-box left=-83 right=-84 top=9.5 bottom=9 completeWays=true completeRelations=true clipIncompleteEntities=true inPipe.0=1 outPipe.0=2 ^

--mapfile-writer file="/C:/osmosis/bin/mapa.map" inPipe.0=2

..............................................................................................................
or
...............................................................................................................
osmosis ^

--read-pbf file="/C:/osmosis/bin/mapa.pbf" outPipe.0=1 ^

--bounding-box left=-85.5 right=-81 top=10.5 bottom=8.5 inPipe.0=1 outPipe.0=2 ^

--mapfile-writer file="/C:/osmosis/bin/mapa.map" inPipe.0=2

................................................................................................................

6. Import is: --bounding-box, but osmosis and plugin fails, it can also be ... --read-pbf or --read-xml....

I hope it serves
