OSM data in GeoParquet format

There has been some discussion about OSM data in GeoParquet format, most recently in The last hurrah for OSM - #44 by SimonPoole. Apparently there many different ways to stuff OSM data into some form of Parquet; osm-parquetizer does it with raw data, ohsome-planet builds geometries even for historical data, and cadencemaps tries to emulate Overture’s POI schema. As the person running the Geofabrik download server I have been wondering if I could add some simple form of GeoParquet files to the d...

@DC4DD Ja das hängt halt von der App ab XD

#OpenStreetMap hat extrem viele Daten, die werden je nach Ansicht nicht alle dargestellt.

Auch hat OSM keine Grenzen oder Gruppen, das ist einfach ein Datensatz. Wenn man also "nur Brandenburg" herunterladen möchte, muss das wer für einen zubereiten.

Das machen zB #Geofabrik mit Rohdaten, #OSMAnd und #CoMaps machen das als Kartenapps auf dem Handy. Und das braucht wegen Serverkosten etwas Zeit, dadurch sind die Daten dann älter

Heads up for folks downloading "latest" pbf files from Geofabrik:

You should make sure your curls are following redirects (-L). I just updated TIGERMap scripts so it will keep rolling along unattended beyond Sept 1.

Bisher sind #Radwege Geodaten in #OpenStreetMap noch sehr unzugänglich und schwierig zu erhalten. Deswegen habe ich eine kleine Website mit Toolchain gebaut, welche ein Extrakt aller Radwege in Europa aus dem #Geofabrik Extrakt zur Verfügung stellt: https://fahrrad.dev/data

Bin gespannt auf Feedback!

The Geofabrik Download server had a little hiccup over the weekend, which interrupted data updates. 😨
It's catching up now, and fresh OSM data for each geographic region will be available ASAP. 🙂 Apologies for any issues.

A map of fire and ice for #Day25 of the #30DayMapChallenge for Antarctica. I extracted 27 volcanoes from the #OpenStreetMap natural dataset. From Wikipedia, Mount Erebus is the second-highest volcano in Antarctica (after Mount Sidley), the highest active volcano in Antarctica, and the southernmost active volcano on Earth.
