Quickly define and build views on an osmosis postgis database, based on simple tag-based definition stored in .ini files.

You will need osmosis and a most likely a linux box. You also need ogr/gdal if you need to export the views in other formats.

First, create a database suitable for osmosis:

createdb osmosis;
# Based on which template you use you may need to issue a 
# create extension postgis;
# on the newly created db
/path/to/osmosis/init_osmosis.sh

• Create a config file based on config_example.sh, say "config.sh".
• Edit the 01-download_osm_xml.sh script and adapt the overpass query to your needs.
• Edit the 03-export_osmosis_pg.sh if you don't need to export the views or you need them exported in a format other than MapInfo.
• Change or add views definitions in the views subfolder.

Run the scripts:

. config.sh
01-download_osm_xml.sh
02-load_osm_xml_to_pg.sh
03-export_osmosis_pg.sh
