Convert OBF to OSM or Shapefile

[Lelo Neto]

Hello Osmand folks,

Has anyone ever converted OBF format file to OSM or ShapeFile? 

Can anyone give me some tips how can I do this?

Thanks so much,

[Andre]

Obf is created from OSM files or pbf files. These files can be downloaded from geofabrik or Cloudmade. I have seen you can also download shapefiles there.

osmconvert http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Osmconvert

osmconvert ottpart.osm  -o=base.pbf is an example the other way.

No, this is not correct. osmconvert can't do this.

osmconvert can convert to/from pbf, but that's something different then the OsmAnd .obf format.

The pbf format is the protobuffer format. obf is the osmand format.

It is possible to convert obf to csv using inspector, but the files are huge.

Hello Lelo,

there is no way to convert obf files back to raw OSM data or shapefiles.

Have a look at the OSM wiki about http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Planet.osm and http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Shapefiles

Maybe you can tell us what you want to do, so we can give you more hints.

Agreed I wasn't thinking, .pbf format can be converted but I think .obf format is internal to OSMAND and strips out quite a bit of information, I think it also includes indexes etc so not intended to be convertible.

Thanks for the correction.

Thanks for all the answers.

I already have the files OBF, but I don't have the original files OSM. I need the OSM files to work in another application.

I'm working on the recovery of information from the result inspector.sh.

Thank you.

[Andre]

Then why don't you download the osm files from geofabrik?

Actually this is possible!!!

I used quite a lot to debug/trace issues in OBF file. Please download and try binaryInspector.

The parameter called -osm=.../a.osm. Later you should be able to load into JOSM.

Can you please explain how this (undocumented) feature works?

I just tried inspector.sh with all kind of parameter combinations using the -a=pipo.osm option, but I can't get it to work.

I think he means the parameter - osm = path/pipo.osm

I tried quite a lot of things and the path doesn't make a difference.

It's not only the parameter. It's inspector itself as well.

I tried with the new inspector as the old inspector doesn't have the -osm option.

The new inspector doesn't function with the -vaddress and the -vmap which I used. It doesn't give output. Hence the -osm doesn't create a file either.

The -vpoi option works with the new inspector, but still I can't get the -osm parameter to work. When using -osm=./pipo.osm a 0 byte file is created.

I assume the current -vaddress and -vpoi bugs have to do with all the modifications.

So you can omit it ?
-osm = pipo.osm
You used -a = pipo.osm.

This is quite documented feature. It is in the help of binaryInspector. Of course it should be latest MapCreator ( a week ago)

println("\nUsage for print info : inspector [-vaddress] [-vstreetgroups] [-vstreets] [-vbuildings] [-vintersections] [-vmap] [-vmapobjects] [-osm] [-vpoi] [-vtransport] [-zoom=Zoom] [-bbox=LeftLon,TopLat,RightLon,BottomLan] [file]");

-osm=/home/file.osm

I have noticed that. Did you see my bug ticket?

Because the contract was changed. Please read Usage.  -vstreets, -vmapobjects , we should not be backward compatible in that area :)

Victor

Yes, but the same usage also says -vmap and -vaddress

inspector [-vaddress] [-vstreetgroups] [-vstreets] [-vbuildings] [-vintersections] [-vmap] [-vmapobjects] [-osm] [-vpoi] [-vtransport] [-zoom=Zoom] [-bbox=LeftLon,TopLat,

RightLon,BottomLan] [file]")

So I expect that when I use these -vaddress and -vmap options, I also get the output I always used to get.

And if that has changed I expect these options to not longe be in the Usage.

And if I can only use these options in combination with oher options, I expect that in the Usage.

Do you mean that -vaddress and -vmap are no longer valid options? Or that e.g. -vmap only works in combination with -vmapobjects?

When reading back this sounds rather harsh. It was not meant like that. I was in "technical mode" and simply mentioning questions, expectations and assumptions.

Sorry if it sounded to offending.

Harry

[Victor Shcherb]

No worries, I've got it right. It was changed to give more flexibility.

Or that e.g. -vmap only works in combination with -vmapobjects

Exactly

To summarize it is not possible to convert from .obf to .pbf? but it is possible to convert from .pbf to .obf?

[john whelan]

The native file type of OSMAND .obf contains indexes and I suspect contains a subset of what is in a .pbf file.  You can generate a .obf file from a .pbf file using the mapcreator associated with osmand.

when browsing to https://www.github.com you have a search text field there where you can search for "obf2osm"

... as a result you get three issues inside osmand project where the is "obf2osm mentioned ...

but I don't know whether that is the feature you are looking for?

[Victor Shcherb]

obf could be converted to osm via binaryInspector.sh but it is pure developer feature and we are not supporting it deeply. So you can't rely on its output.
