Where can I get the OSM data from?
You can get the OSM data as SHP from WeoGeo (my employer) for any location in the world. The streets/highways layer has names of streets and the buildings have numbers and type, when provided by the OSM user who created or edited the feature.
How to add PostGIS data to a GeoServer?
There are several ways to add the PostGIS data to the GeoServer as layer but I will use the manual way as explained in this previous post. So, add Workspace, add store (if not already there) and finally add layers. In order to upload the styles to the GeoServer, I used the GeoServer Explorer QGIS plug-in.
How to upload the styles to the Geoserver?
In order to upload the styles to the GeoServer, I used the GeoServer Explorer QGIS plug-in. This is a plug-in which helps to interact between GeoServer and QGIS. In the GeoServer Explorer Panel click on Styles and then click the plus sign (+) on the top.
How to get street names from OpenStreetMap data?
The streets/highways layer has names of streets and the buildings have numbers and type, when provided by the OSM user who created or edited the feature. You can also select the output to be any of the file formats you mentioned. You can get shapefiles build from OSM data for most parts of the world from Geofabrik.
What’s the purpose of osmextract on GitHub?
The goal of osmextract is to make it easier for people to access OpenStreetMap (OSM) data for reproducible research. OSM data is the premier source of freely available, community created geographic data worldwide. We aim to enable you to extract it for data-driven work in the public interest.
What’s the best way to extract a street list?
You can use osmfilter or grep to extract the info your want. Maposmatic will give you a csv of the streets, but it shows a local grid reference instead of an exact lat-long. Maybe you can reverse that reference to get the approximate lat/lon, since you know the bounding box and the size of the grid ?
