Hello all,
I'm trying to convert the Queensland, Australia OSM roads into a GIS format (esri shape or mapinfo) using GDAL 1.10
I downloaded a .osm.pbf file for australia from http://download.geofabrik.de/australia-oceania/australia.html
I'm only really after the geometry that represents roads. So I don't need the points or polygons.
Does anyone have any suggestions about any arguments I can put into my GDAL command to restrict translation to only what I consider relevant?
For example, the argument -spat 136 -31 156 should restrict import to a bounding box that approximately represents Qld.
I would appreciate advice on;
- what geometry layer suits my purposes
- how to specify that in a GDAL argument
Kind regards,
Nick Lawrence
