Map of my municipality

BETA
Map of each municipality extracted from Open Street Map, updated weekly.

NB: The regions are also available.

Content

Each department is delivered as a ZIP archive that contains several map layers to the fomat shapefile (mapping.doc):
— places.shp: names of cities or neighbourhoods
— roads.shp: all routes from highway to pedestrian path
— buildings.shp: built space
— raillways.shp: railway tracks
— waterways.shp:the hydrolic network
— paragraphs.shp: a list of points of interest
— natural.shp: green areas
— landuse.shp: land occupancy
— admin-department.shp: the department

In addition, a very summary project file QGis is provided in the archive, in order to visualise the layer overlay in a free tool.

Origin

The data come from the community and free cartographic database OpenStreetMap.

The division by department comes from Contours of the French departments from OpenStreetMap.

Shapefiles are extracted according to the method shown by Maxime Résibois’ excellent article on PortailSIG: http://www.portailsig.org/content/recuperer-des-donnees-openstreetmap-gdalogr

The sources of automatic extraction processing are available on github. They rely on tuttle, a build system for data.
