Generate latest offline map for OsmAnd

README.md

Install

Download OsmAndMapCreator and extract.

Install osmupdate and osmconvert into path.

cd ~/bin
wget -O - http://m.m.i24.cc/osmupdate.c | cc -x c - -o osmupdate 
wget -O - http://m.m.i24.cc/osmconvert.c | cc -x c - -lz -O3 -o osmconvert

Download full map data for the first time

Download dump of China area PBF file from http://download.geofabrik.de/asia/china-latest.osm.pbf

Create map

Put PBF file and files in this gist into working directory.

Run createmap.sh. It does these steps:

1. Download latest patch to make map data up to date.
2. Generate OBF map file used by OsmAnd.

Generating full China map takes 90 minutes and output OBF file is 845M. Current script uses -b parameter to filter out middle Guangdong area to reduce time.

To automatically run everyday, add a cron job:

0 13 * * 1-5 cd /home/me/workspaces/osm-mapbuild; ./update_and_create_guangdong.sh > guangdong.log 2>&1

Copy OBF file to Android

adb push obf/Guangdong_2.obf /sdcard/Android/data/net.osmand/files/

	<!-- There are 3 subprocess :
		 1. Download fresh osm files from servers to 'directory_for_osm_files' (override existings).
		 2. Generate index files from all files in 'directory_for_osm_files' and put all indexes into 'directory_for_index_files'
		 3. Upload index files from 'directory_for_index_files' to googlecode.
		 If directory directory_for_uploaded_files is specified all uploaded files will be moved to it
		 All these subprocess could be ran independently ! So you can create some files check them and after that try to upload on googlecode,
		 or you can upload any file you have to googlecode (just put into 'directory_for_index_files')
