OpenStreetMap Download Tool

Import of OpenStreetMap Data Challenges

OpenStreetMap geometry is node (point) based, Esri

core geometry is segment based

Absence of data schema within the OpenStreetMap

data structure

Each OSM entity includes version/user information


10/24

OpenStreetMap Data inside the Geodatabase

Use three feature classes and two tables

Keep the overall data structure simple

Let the core ArcGIS functionality do the heavy lift ing

ArcGIS Editor Import Implications

Hybrid relations (mixture of nodes and ways) are not

supported*

Ambiguous geometry representation can be an issue

(for example coastlines) OSM Wiki

* Not in the editor environment but data integrity is

always maintained

Summary

1. ArcGIS and OpenStreetMap just work together

2. Easy Workflow: Download the vector data,symbolize the data with respect to the most commonly

used data themes, capture new features or edit existing feature

based on imagery information or update the OSM repository based on existing

free available data sources, synchronize the local modifications back to the OpenStreetMap server, correct any

outstanding conflict between local version and server version, update back to theOpenStreetMap server

3. Have fun mapping
