OSM Extract by Region

Quickly extract a geographic feature from a region of OSM data. Supply a polygon and let osmosis extract all the data contained within it.

Getting Started

Install osmosis

apt-get install osmosis

Run the supplied script with region and feature parameters. e.g:

./osm_extract.sh central-america puerto-rico

this will output a file "extractions/puerto-rico.osm" that contains all the osm data for puerto rico.
