importOSM

Import from Open Street Map

Converts spatial data encoded in Open Street Map - .osm (XML based) and .pbf (optimized binary) formats to shapefile or File GDB layer/s.

A shapefile/s or File GDB layer/s. One Open Street Map file might contain different type geometries. The user can specify which geometry type (or All) to be extracted. If the type specified is "All" and the Open Street Map file contains multiple geometry types, then multiple layers will be produced - one for each geometry type present in the input. The names of the output layers will be:
- Point - OtputNamePnt
- Plyline - OtputNamePl
- Polygon - OtputNamePg

In some specific cases the processing of large XML based (.osm) files might fail. If you can obtain the data in an optimized binary (.pbf) file it is much better to use this format.
The output will preserve the spatial reference of the input Open Street Map file.
If the input file does not have spatial reference defined, then
- If the extents of the input data are between -180 and 180, a geographic coordinate system (WGS 84) will be set for spatial reference of the output layer/s.
- If the extents of the input data are out of the -180 and 180 range and Unknown spatial reference will be set for the output layer/s.

Parameters

Expression	Explanation
Function Name	ImportFromOSM
<Input OSM>	A String - the full name of the .osm or .pbf file to be converted.
<output dataset>	A String - the full name of the output layer.
<Option>	A String - the convertion option. Valid values. "Point" "Polygon" "Polyline" "All"

ETGWPath used in the table below is the full path to ETGWRun.exe (E.G. "C:\Program Files\ETSpatial Techniques\ETGeo Wizards\ETGWRun.exe")

Language	Syntax
Python	subprocess.call([ETGWPath, "ImportFromOSM", "Input OSM", "output dataset", "Option"])
.NET using ETGWRun.exe	StartInfo.FileName = ETGWPath StartInfo.Arguments = "ImportFromOSM" "Input OSM" "output dataset" "Option"
.NET using ETGWOutX.dll	ImportFromOSM(Input OSM, output dataset, Option)
ArcPy	arcpy.ImportFromOSM(Input OSM, output dataset, Option)

Notes:

<> - required parameter
{} - optional parameter
See examples for Python , .NET or ArcPy
The argument separator for StartInfo.Arguments is space. If a string might contain a space, you need to double quote it.
