Tutorial for osm2shp

Hi,

I like to use the program osm2shp (https://trac.openstreetmap.org/browser/applications/utils/export/osm2shp)

Is there somewhere a tutorial how to use it or some kind of instructions. I don't know how to use a makefile nor have I experience in C++

Thanks,

Uli

I am not aware of an osm2shp tutorial. You might want to try out osmjs instead, a JavaScript-based OSM data processor that comes with the Osmium framework and can be used to produce shape files. There's a little documentation here: https://github.com/joto/osmium/tree/master/osmjs

If you are more familiar with the OGR world than with C++ and makefiles, you might also want to check out the OGR driver for reading OSM data: http://www.gdal.org/ogr/drv_osm.html - the ogr2ogr utility can trivially be used to make shape files with that.
