Subject: [Xastir] OpenStreetMap Shapefiles available.
Evening All,
I haven't seen this mentioned around. A company in Germany called GEOFABRIK
are processing the OSM data nightly into shapefiles and making them freely
available at;
http://download.geofabrik.de/osm/
I've grabbed the Australia-oceania set which is about 70MB zipped. I've got it
running with an instance of Xastir on FreeBSD and a dbfawk file custom built
for it and it's quite good.
Worth a look, especially for those of us outside of North America which is all
most of the online maps cover.
Carl.
