OSM Geo Mapper

Navigate OpenStreetMap data in the terminal. Will fetch OSM data using the address or latitude/longitude provided, convert to GeoJSON (requires dependencies), and display the resulting lines/points/polygons in the terminal.

You can optionally provide a GeoJSON file directly for viewing.

Allows for moving around the map: - Arrow keys for directional movement (also supports vi keys h,j,k,l) - 'z' to zoom in/out - Hold Shift to move 10x faster - 'q' or Esc to quit

But Why

I had an idea for a terminal-based zombie survival game set wherever on earth the player chooses.

Turns out, just parsing and enumerating all types of OpenStreetMap data is a significant amount of work and worth it's own library.

Eventually this library will expose a read-only data structure used for querying OSM data by 2D coordinates roughly mimicking latitude and longitude degrees.

Warning

This library isn't complete yet. There are OSM features/properties/details that I haven't implemented yet and results in unclassified/missing data. If you encounter such a case, please submit a issue with the address/lat/lon or geojsonfile attempted and I'll fix those issues as they arise.

Usage

CLI

./osm-geo-mapper --help

Will fetch OpenStreetMap data, convert to GeoJSON, and display the resulting lines/points/polygons in the terminal.

USAGE:
    osm-geo-mapper.exe [FLAGS] [OPTIONS]

FLAGS:
        --show-amenities     Display all amenities - can take a while and cover up overlapping features like buildings
        --show-boundaries    Display all boundaries - can take a while and cover up overlapping features like roads
    -h, --help               Prints help information
        --show-landuse       Display all landuse areas - can take a while and cover up overlapping features like buildings
        --show-leisure       Display all leisure areas - can cover up overlapping features like buildings
    -V, --version            Prints version information

OPTIONS:
    -a, --address <address>              The address that will be used when fetching OpenStreetMap data
    -g, --geojson-file <geojson-file>    Optionally provide a geojson file directly to be parsed and displayed in the terminal
        --latitude <latitude>            The latitude that will be used when fetching OpenStreetMap data (ignored if address is provided)
        --longitude <longitude>          The longitude that will be used when fetching OpenStreetMap data (ignored if address is provided)
    -s, --size <size>                    The square area of land to display in degrees lat/lon - defaults to area of 0.002 latitude by 0.002 longitude. Significantly impacts loading times
