spatialite_osm_map

Syntax:

usage: spatialite_osm_map ARGLIST
==============================================================
-h or --help                    print this help message
-o or --osm-path pathname       the OSM-XML file path
                 both OSM-XML (*.osm) and OSM-ProtoBuf
                 (*.osm.pbf) are indifferenctly supported.
-d or --db-path  pathname       the SpatiaLite DB path

you can specify the following options as well
-cs or --cache-size    num      DB cache size (how many pages)
-m or --in-memory               using IN-MEMORY database
-n or --no-spatial-index        suppress R*Trees generation
-jo or --journal-off            unsafe (but faster) mode

Example:

$ spatialite_osm_map -o my_country.osm.pbf -d my_country.sqlite
SQLite version: 3.7.11
SpatiaLite version: 3.1.0
UNRESOLVED-NODE 114601792
....
UNRESOLVED-WAY 39764802
VACUUMing the DB ... wait please ...
        All done: OSM map was succesfully loaded
$

the above shown command must be invoked from the shell:

-o my_country.osm.pbf selects the OSM input file (in this case, of the OSM-protobuf format).
-d my_country.sqlite selects the SpatiaLite's DB-file to be created and populated.
you can eventually add any other DB-related optimization switch, if you think it will be useful.

Please note: the many Unresolved-Node or Unresolved-Way messages you'll eventually see simply are harmless warnings: very often OSM datasets does actually contain several missing / broken cross-references. Don't worry, it simply means that few Map Objects cannot be correctly reconstructed, and thus will be silently discarded.

Once the command succesfully completes its execution, you'll find a brand new DB-file just created ...

... you can explore this DB-file e.g. using spatialite_gui ...

... or you can connect it to a most conventional desktop-GIS application (e.g. QGIS).
