A step by step, hands-on guide to creating and using an extract of OpenStreetMap data, using tools like osmium, osm2pgsql, and QGIS.
OpenStreetMap is a global dataset with a wealth of data, just waiting for you to use it! Many organizations both large and small use OSM data in some capacity, and so can you! Whether you are a lone cartographer looking for basemap details for your next creation or a GIS developer building your organization new tools, OpenStreetMap can probably fit into your project.
Being free and open source, there are few barriers between wanting OSM and actually getting it. But to the unfamiliar, it can be a little daunting knowing where to start. That's where this workshop comes in.
Workshop participants will be guided through a basic workflow of downloading OSM data, creating a
geographic subset, loading desired features into a database, and accessing the imported data through QGIS. And of course, the entire process will be done with free, open-source software!
