osm2postgresql

We have hosted the application osm2postgresql in order to run this application in our online workstations with Wine or directly.

Quick description about osm2postgresql:

osm2postgresql is a Linux script loading openstreetmap data into a postgresql database setting up if needed a server & database (postgis+hstore). Advanced processing is performed, easing rendering. http: //wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Osm2postgresql.

Features:

• Optional: installs a postgres server and configure it; create a database (with postgis and hstore)
• Loads osm data into the database and process it
• Creates and fix polygons
• Fixes small streams, canals. on riverbanks (nicer rendering)
• Creates 3 tables that are ready for rendering: polygons, ways, nodes_with_tags
• In each table, populates a "class" field that you can link to your symbology
• Helps you easily render OSM data in your GIS application or web server
• Keeps [almost] ALL tags (in two fields: 'tags' as text and 'tagshstore' as hstore)
• 14 March 2011: version 02 (beta) released.
• Still a work in progress: stay tuned!
