About OSMaxx

OSMaxx (short for "OpenStreetMap arbitrary excerpt export") cuts out OpenStreetMap data, processes it to geodata, converts it to typical GIS fileformats and offers those for download.

Data sources

All data used by OSMaxx comes directly or indirectly from OpenStreetMap:

Main data source

The bulk of our input data (everything not listed separately below) is verbatim OpenStreetMap data, taken from our own regularly synchronized database import of the OpenStreetMap planet.

Additional data sources

Coastlines, Water-polygons and Landmasses

Coastlines, water-polygons and landmasses are from OSM derived data provided by openstreetmapdata.com.

Country Boundaries

We are using the country boundaries that are based on OSM-Data, cleaned and maintained by Mr. Wambacher.
