Re: [mapsforge-dev] Mapsforge, how to generate .map files?

[Karsten Groll]

Hello,

PBF files can be downloaded from Geofabrik [1]. You can also use XML
files. Therefore you have to replace the "--rb" (read binary) Osmosis
target with "--rx" (read XML). I recommend using PBF files.

Regards,

Karsten
