Usage

Overview

This script can download GPX tracks from a given OSM relation to feed it to your GPS device. Most relations are not ordered in one single line. The script tries to bring all parts into a reasonable order.

Options

-i file

Read OSM-data from local file. If this option is missing data will be fetched from openstreetmap.org

-x file

write XML-file in osm-format, which contains the data of all objects of the relation (only in connection with -i).

-r typ

Work on all relations of type=route and route=typ (only in connection with -i). Possible values for typ: bicycle, hiking, train.

-f file

Read relation-Ids from file (only in connection with -i). The text file can contain one Id per line. Lines starting with "#" will be ignored. You can also add comments to data lines.

-g

Create a GPX track file.

-p

Enable output of various plausibility checks.

-s

Enable statistics output to STDOUT

-w

Output statistics and plausibility checks into HTML file

-o

Respect directions (oneway, forward/backward).

The name of the GPX and HTML file will be created from the name of the relation inside the OSM database. If this does not exist the relation-Id will be used as name. When using options -f or -i the name will be created from the relation list or the OSM-file respectively.
