OSM Openstreetmap ,which extension should i download to use in FME ?How to use it ?

Hi @spiderman​ 

Can you verify if you are referring to the OSM PBF format?

FME Desktop has this format reader available OpenStreetMap (OSM) Protocolbuffer Binary Format (PBF)

and OpenStreetMap (OSM) XML Reader

The best practice would be to use GeometryFilter as Shapefile can only handle a single geometry type.

Using Generate workspace would automatically do this for you and create shapefiles based on various geometry types i.e. aeroway_line, aeroway_point, aeroway_polygon. This feature may contain both Point and Line geometries so you will have two shapefiles.

Hi @spiderman​ 

Can you explain what application you are using it creates a background map?

Ideally, each application gives you options to pick the color for polygons individually or set color use.

To display a map similar to Google Maps, you will need the following layer (at minimum)

Landuse polygons

Transport Lines

Railways Lines

Waterways polygons

Buildings polygons

However, the Geofabrik Download server  (https://download.geofabrik.de/europe/germany/berlin-latest-free.shp.zip) provides shapefile as well if you prefer to use those, I am using Berlin as a sample here.

For Legend, you may have to manually map the legend based on and set the value of fme_color based o the information provided here https://blog.google/products/maps/google-maps-gets-new-look/

Hi @rahulsharma​ 

Thanks for ur reply , sry for reply late but i was sick last week .

i got what u mean ,but i am looking for it but i could not get this point .

i have downloaded from geofabrik ,some of cities ,how could i extract polygon that i want .

as example ,i have data from GIS for some cities so i tried to use spatial relator to extract same coordinates of polygon from Openstreet map but spatial relator did not get output and it gone to rejected .

so my questions , how could i extract specific polygon of one city when i have several cities ?

and also is it best site to download osm is geofabrik or which site od you prefer ?
