By doing what is commonly called "rendering". The process of taking OSM data (node, ways and relations) generating geometric objects from the raw data and then "drawing" the objects in to a bitmap. Both steps tend to be fully configurable (for example by deciding how wide a road of a certain classification should be drawn and in what color or which elements to draw at all). A good renderer for investigating what can be done is maperitive (see maperitive.net ). answered 09 Oct '14, 10:44  SimonPoole ♦ edited 09 Oct '14, 11:02  SomeoneElse ♦ |
If you only need to export small areas it's simple, click on share and set file type. answered 09 Oct '14, 15:15  andy mackey |
