Hey Guys, I am trying to create a image of Germany with the borders (of admin_level=6) filled with colour, depending on different (statistical) indicators. Is it possible to export a map with this borders and load it in to my Map-Explorer? thanks a lot! Dole edit: i have to say i am not used to do stuff with geographic-tool cause i am a "socialstudies guy"... OSM is to detailed, but i need the lvl6 borders, so i can colour them. i guess there are about 400 of areas in Ger. would be much work to fill them by hand. hope my Prob got a bit clearer :) asked 24 Mar '11, 10:58 Dole |
Use the VG2500 dataset of the Bundesamt für Kartografie and Geodäsie: http://www.bkg.bund.de/nn_149566/EN/News/01News/N2011/20110915-VG2500__04-09-2011.html answered 02 Oct '12, 12:36 gormo The download link is http://www.geodatenzentrum.de/geodaten/gdz_rahmen.gdz_div?gdz_spr=eng&gdz_akt_zeile=5&gdz_anz_zeile=4&gdz_unt_zeile=17&gdz_user_id=0

...and if you just want a SVG you could get it from http://www.geodatenzentrum.de/geodaten/gdz_rahmen.gdz_div?gdz_spr=eng&gdz_akt_zeile=5&gdz_anz_zeile=5&gdz_user_id=0

It can be done with JOSM, but it sohohoh difficult too explain that I won't. It so dangerous too. A novice could erase nation wide data with a single click. Always experiment such things with (J)OSM without a password and best on an alternate server. I've done it with Belgium, but it wouldn't work with Switzerland. CH don't put subareas in boundary relations (believe me as I say it :-)). As Frederik said, your best bet is a ready made map of some kind. Look up Google with searcher like "Germany map administrative svg", best in German. SVG is important. It's a vector format that will scale very well and allow you to change the picture easily with a program like Inkscape, or change it to another format. This is my third hit, just to show you the kind of things: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Map_Germany_L%C3%A4nder-de.svg answered 30 Sep '12, 00:56 GentilPapou |
You can get all administrative boundaries in several ways:
I don't know which formats are supported by Map-Explorer, but if it doesn't support osm-xml directly you could load the osm-file into Josm and export it as GPX, which most geo-applications are able to read. There are also tools available to convert osm to shapefile. More help on this topic and alternative programs can be found in the wiki. answered 24 Mar '11, 11:44 dieterdreist |
