Build your own segments files
|
|
=============================
|
|
|
|
BRouter uses its own data format (`.rd5` files), split in tiles of 5 x 5
|
|
in latitude and longitude. You can download the official segment files (weekly
|
|
built) from [brouter.de](http://brouter.de/brouter/segments4/) but you can
|
|
also build them yourself from an OSM dump (e.g. planet or [GeoFabrik
|
|
extract](https://download.geofabrik.de/))
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Run the map creation script
|
|
|
|
If you want to have elevation information in the generated segments files, you
|
|
should download the required [SRTM
|
|
files](https://cgiarcsi.community/data/srtm-90m-digital-elevation-database-v4-1/)
|
|
and set the `SRTM_PATH` variable when running the `process_pbf_planet.sh`
|
|
script.
|
|
|
|
Any flavor of the 90m SRTM database should be working, but the one used by the
|
|
official BRouter segments files are the ones provided by
|
|
[CGIAR](https://cgiarcsi.community/data/srtm-90m-digital-elevation-database-v4-1/).
|
|
If you are working with rather small geographical extracts, you can download
|
|
tiles manually using [this
|
|
interface](http://srtm.csi.cgiar.org/SELECTION/inputCoord.asp) (use the
|
|
"ArcInfo ASCII" format), instead of having to ask for an access for bulk
|
|
download of data. There is no need to unzip the downloaded files, the
|
|
`process_pbf_planet.sh` script expects a folder with all the ZIP files inside
|
|
and will manage it.
|
|
|
|
Note that if you don't have the SRTM data available, the segments files will
|
|
still be generated without any issue (but they will miss the elevation data).
|
|
If you are not sure which SRTM files you have to download, you can run the
|
|
script once and it will log all the SRTM files it is looking for.
|
|
|
|
You can now run the `misc/scripts/mapcreation/process_pbf_planet.sh` script to
|
|
build the segments. Have a look at the variables defined at the beginning of
|
|
the files and overwrite them according to your needs. By default, the script
|
|
will download the latest full planet dump from
|
|
[planet.osm.org](https://planet.osm.org/). You can also download a
|
|
geographical extract provided by [Geofabrik](https://download.geofabrik.de/)
|
|
and set the `PLANET_FILE` variable to point to it.
|
|
|
|
_Note:_ It is possible that you encounter an error complaining about not being
|
|
able to run `bash^M` on Linux/Mac OS. You can fix this one by running
|
|
`sed -i -e 's/\r$//' process_pbf_planet.sh`.
