Hi all. How can I get a country with complete country boundary (closed and with all ways, nodes etc) or complete country boundary only into OSM XML format? Sorry for bad English. asked 20 Jun '11, 10:44  vvk000 |
One Answer:
Try GeoFabrik. They provide daily exports of most contries. answered 20 Jun '11, 10:54  Gnonthgol ♦ |
Country boundary for one country from GeoFabrik is not complete. Therefore I must "glue" XML for country boundary with for boundaries of it's neighbours... Does not exist a more simple technique?
if you experience problems with a specific country you might be better off mailing Geofabrik and tell them about the problem.
You could also download the continent file and then use Osmosis to cut out a generous rectangle around your country of interest, which will make sure that everything you need is contained. - Should you be interested in the country boundary [i]only[/i] then perhaps you should check out naturalearthdata.com - their data is not as detailed as OSM's but very good for a zoomed-out view.
