I'm a complete beginner in OSM. My final year project involves using OSM to create routing algorithms. I've been playing with Osmosis to parse OSM XML data and I think I can work with it. My question is if I need to build a graph out of OSM XML data, what would I need to parse? I know I need the ways, but I'm not sure if I need to also parse the nodes and relations? Keep in mind, this is a simple routing app for walking/running/cycling Any helpful suggestions would be deeply appreciated! asked 05 Nov '14, 16:22  echoalphapapa edited 05 Nov '14, 16:23 |
