How can I view OSM extracts?
How can I view OSM extracts?
I'm sure this has been asked thousands of times, but how do I view the map extracts offline? (.osm and .pbf) Is there a (native) app I can use? Can't find any clear information.
You're viewing a single thread.
@Irelephant at least .osm files can be loaded in #JOSM, but if your extract is big enough (say, a city or bigger), it might clog it, since it will try to render _everything_. It's mostly aimed at loading changesets, not whole areas.
After that, it seems like you can convert the pbf into a SQLite/Spatialite DB and load it in #QGis, but you're already transforming the data.
EDIT: yay! Federation works! (Answered from Mastodon :)
Yeah, the fediverse is amazing. I've had cases where I answered a lemmy thread without even realizing it was on lemmy ;)
@pietervdvn @mdione If you're replying to a reply it sometimes helps to add @openstreetmap to the toot to make sure it gets propagated properly by lemmy.
(although probably not this time as I'm replying to a lemmy.ml account)
