openstreetmap

For the life of me I cannot deserialize the protobuf file from Open Street Maps . I am trying to deserialize the following extract: http://download.geofabrik.de/osm/north-america/us-northeast.osm.pbf to get Nodes and I am using http://code.google.com/p/protobuf-net/ as the library. I have tried to deserialize a bunch of different objects but they all come up null. The proto files can be found here: http://trac.openstreetmap.org/browser/applications/utils/export/osm2pgsql/protobuf Any suggestions? Right; the problem is that this isn't just protobuf - it is a hybrid file format ( defined here

When online access to the internet is not possible, I would like the (offline) HTML5 app show an OSM map via an OSM file. Can you give an example of how I can show in an offline Html5 app OSM tiles that are loaded from an offline OSM map file like Mapsforge / Geofabrik etc? Example: via the openstreetmap.org I first exported a small part of a map. How can I show this downloaded OSM map in the Html5 offline webapp. Yes, it's possible to do this in Leaflet, or any other mapping library. All you have to do is convert the OSM file into a set of tiles, then point your tile layer to the locally

I'm re-parsing the KML that's already been loaded onto the map similar to the example here: http://openlayers.org/dev/examples/sundials.html and turning it into a clickable list that will center the map on the point clicked, and display the popup window for it. This was really easy to do in Google Maps, but I can't find any similar Openlayers examples. Is there any easier way to do this? Something built-in that I'm missing? HTML : <ul id="locationTable"> </ul> JS: htmlRows = ""; for(var feat in features) { // Build details table featId = features[feat].id; // determine the feature ID title =

It's any public maps API (google, microsoft, openstreet...) that returns the height of the roof for certain points? Imagine: you request some address and the API returns the coordinates, some information and the height of the building, if available. OpenStreetMap has a height tag and various other building related tags like building:levels from which you could estimate the height. However note that currently most buildings lack those tags as they aren't widely in use so far. Still you could give it a try and request all buildings around a specific point or area using Overpass API / overpass

I would like to do a mobile native app (Android & iOS) with OpenStreetMap. I need to work with maps offline for trekking. I read about OSMDroid, MapsForge for Android, but I need to do in iOS too. Could you recommend me some libraries, tips etc for these mobile OS? Thank you The OSM "stackexchange like" help might be a better place for this question. See for example: https://help.openstreetmap.org/questions/8066/ios-android-sdk Check also the OSM wiki: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Frameworks for possible alleys to explore. If you are ok with a commercial library check out skobbler's OSM

What I want to do is to generate a static image (e.g. a png) using python and using openstreetmap tiles as a background. Mathplotlib and Basemap is almost what I'm looking for. The problem is being able to use OSM tiles as background. I'm not pleased by the approach suggested in http://stevendkay.wordpress.com/2010/02/24/plotting-points-on-an-openstreetmap-export/ The closest I found is in this answer but using R, and not python Plotting points from a data.frame using OpenStreetMap Did I miss any obvious and easy solution? Thanks for your help EDIT : this questions suggests many tools, but
