    About OSMaxx

    OSMaxx (short for "OpenStreetMap Arbitrary Excerpt Export") cuts out OpenStreetMap (OSM) data, processes it to geospatial data structures, converts it to typical GIS file formats and offers those for download.

    All our code is open-source and contributions are welcome.

    Documentation

    You can find the online documentation of the schema on GitHub: Export Schema Documentation.

    Useful links

    These can be found in our separate downloads page.

    Data sources

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

    The bulk of our input data (everything not listed separately below) is verbatim OpenStreetMap data, taken from our own regularly (about every two hours, depending on the current load) synchronized database import of the OpenStreetMap planet.
