Map generator for "BE Graphes"

The purpose of this repository is to ease the process of generating graph and mapforge file that are consistent (using the same OpenStreetMap data).

How to start?

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. You can use type=ram to speed-up the process for small maps.
bin/osmosis --rb inputs/bretagne/bretagne_merge.pbf \
    --mapfile-writer file=outputs/morbihan.mapfg bbox=47.234,-3.598,47.997,-1.648 type=hd 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) type=hd 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
