Shapefile -> OSM/PBF Converter

shp2pbf

It converts .shp formatted files to .osm.pbf format. It supports only MultiLineString geometry.

Parameters

• inputFile: Contains the input .shp file.
• outputFile: Contains the output file in .osm.pbf format. If the file exists, the tool overrides it.
• charset (optional): Contains the shapefile charset encoding, default is UTF-8.

Configuration

It can be run from command line (after Maven build):

shp2pbf --inputFile /path/to/input.shp --outputFile /path/to/output.osm.pbf

TagTransform after run

The created tags could be in wrong format, so they have to be converted. The best way to do this is with osmosis.

Example run:

osmosis --read-pbf file=output.osm.pbf --tag-transform file=TRANSFORM.xml --write-pbf file=transformed.osm.pbf
