Map generator for "BE Graphes"

To clone this repository:

# You need the --recursive option (--recurse-submodules with Git >= 2.13),
# you can use https or ssh, it does not matter.
git clone --recursive https://gitea.typename.fr/INSA/be-graphes-map-generator.git

# Then you need to initialize the repository, this may takes some time as it needs
# to fetch a shapefile (~500MB) on a remote server.
cd be-graphes-map-generator
bash init.sh

If you do not plan on generating maps with coastline for mapsforge (see below), you can use the --no-shapefile option to avoid the download:

bash init.sh --no-shapefile

Folders organization

The two main folders are inputs and outputs:

• inputs mainly contains:

  • a script coastline-fix.sh to merge land/sea polygon (see below) and PBF files;
  • a directory containing boundinx-box (bbox) for specific regions;
  • a file containing highway filters;
  • PBF files downloaded organized in folder $REGION/$REGION.pbf.

• outputs is the default folder for generated output.

Obtaining PBF files

You can download PBF files for multiple regions on Geofabrik: https://download.geofabrik.de/index.html

You should put the PBF file in subfolders, e.g. if you want to use bretagne.pbf, you should save it to:

inputs/bretagne/bretagne.pbf

Doing so will avoid having a messy inputs folder due to region-specific files generated by coastline-fix.sh.

Generating maps

Only manual generation using osmosis is supported currently.

Mapsforge file:

# You do not need to specify a bounding-box if you did not use the coastline fix or
# do not want it.
bin/osmosis --rb inputs/bretagne/bretagne_merge.pbf \
    --mapfile-writer file=outputs/morbihan.mapfg bbox=47.234,-3.598,47.997,-1.648 threads=2

Binary graph files

# You do not need to specify a bounding box if you do not need it. You can use either "insa2016" or
# "insa2018" writers, and you should change the map id to your need.
bin/osmosis --rb inputs/bretagne/bretagne-latest.osm.pbf  \
    --used-node --bounding-box top=48.1749 left=-1.7709 right=-1.5014 bottom=48.0644 completeWays=yes \
    --tf reject-relations --tf accept-ways highway=(cat inputs/highway-filter.cmd) natural=coastline --lp \
    --osm2graph file=outputs/rennes.mapgr writer=insa2018 map-id=0x235

Combining generations

You can combine both generation using the --tee option of osmosis:

# The order is important! You do not want to use osmosis filters/bounding-box before mapfile-writer.
bin/osmosis --rb inputs/bretagne/bretagne_merge.pbf --tee \
    --mapfile-writer file=outputs/morbihan.mapfg bbox=$(cat inputs/bbox/morbihan.bbox) threads=2 \
    --bounding-box $(cat inputs/bbox/morbihan.bbox | tr "," " " | xargs printf "bottom=%f left=%f top=%f right=%f") completeWays=yes
    --used-node --tf reject-relations --tf accept-ways highway=(cat inputs/highway-filter.cmd) natural=coastline
    --osm2graph file=ouputs/morbihan.mapgr writer=insa2018 map-id=0x400

Note: You can add logging by specifying --lp between osmosis tasks.

Bounding box

Bounding box files should contain a single line with comma-separated (without spaces) values:

minLat,minLon,maxLat,maxLon

To use it with osmosis:

• for mapfile-writer, simply cat the file to set the bbox argument:

bbox=$(cat inputs/bbox/morbihan.bbox) 

• for osm2graph, it is a bit more complicated:

--bounding-box $(cat inputs/bbox/morbihan.bbox | tr "," " " | xargs printf "bottom=%f left=%f top=%f right=%f") completeWays=yes

Fixing coastline

When generating mapsforge file that contains sea, you will need to fix the PBF file prior to running osmosis. The fix is an adaptation from https://github.com/mapsforge/mapsforge-creator — It basically does the same but does not download PBF or do the final osmosis run for you.

You will first need a PBF file and its associated polygon file, you can get these from https://download.geofabrik.de/index.html. You need to put those file in a region folder, e.g. if you want to fix bretagne, you should have:

# Do not rename these files!
inputs/bretagne/bretagne-latest.osm.pbf
inputs/bretagne/bretagne.poly

You should also have run the init.sh script without the --no-shapefile option (you should see a folder named land-polygons-split-4326 in the inputs folder).

Once you have the requested files, you can simply run (from the inputs folder):

# If you are not already in the inputs folder
cd inputs

# Change bretagne to whatever region...
bash coastline-fix.sh bretagne
