# Overview

This project contains useful info/tools for processing OSM maps into the mapwriter file format (.map). It was developed to help generating offline map files for Locus on Android.

# Dependencies / Prereqs

To run this program you'll need the following

* A Linux environment
* Python 3.x installed
* Java 1.8 or higher installed (OpenJDK works)
* wget installed
* gdal-bin
* python3-gdal (Ubuntu) installed

# Installation

Head over to releases tab and download the latest. Extract the file and you're good to go. Everything is self-contained minus the above dependencies.

# Running

To run the program, cd to the directory where you extracted the release and run './process_maps.py' with at least one '--map-list /path/to/list.txt parameter'. See the lists directory for examples on how to format the map list files.

### Program Usage

```
usage: process_maps.py [-h] --map-list MAP_LIST [--use-ram]
                       [--max-heap-space MAX_HEAP_SPACE]
                       [--output-map-name OUTPUT_MAP_NAME] --maps-dir MAPS_DIR
                       [--no-map-download]

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --map-list MAP_LIST   a text file with one map URL per line, can be
                        specified more than once
  --use-ram             use RAM for mapsforge processing -- WARNING mapsforge
                        uses 10x the map size in RAM for processing (ie. 100Mb
                        map = 1Gb RAM usage), you want a LOT of RAM for this
                        option
  --max-heap-space MAX_HEAP_SPACE
                        set the max heap space for the JVM, use standard -Xmx
                        values, default (1g) should be fine if not using
                        --use-ram argument
  --output-map-name OUTPUT_MAP_NAME
                        set the output .map and .poi file names
  --maps-dir MAPS_DIR   Where downloaded maps will be stored/read from
  --no-map-download     Do NOT download maps, re-use maps from maps-dir
```

# Caching maps for re-use / re-processing

Included in the repo there is a ```download_maps.py``` script that is meant to help with downloading maps on a schedule or for caching. It uses the same logic as the main script but for download only.

### Program usage

```
usage: download_maps.py [-h] --map-list MAP_LIST --map-dir MAP_DIR

optional arguments:
  -h, --help           show this help message and exit
  --map-list MAP_LIST  a text file with one map URL per line, can be specified
                       more than once
  --map-dir MAP_DIR    The directory where maps should be downloaded

```

### Example Usage

```
./download_maps.py --map-dir ./cache \
    --map-list lists/central_america.txt

./download_maps.py --map-dir ./cache \
    --map-list lists/midwest.txt

./download_maps.py --map-dir ./cache \
    --map-list lists/south_america.txt
```
