- Package for spatial analysis, simulation and visualization of Open Street Map data
- The plotting functionality is provided via a separate package
OpenStreetMapXPlot.jl
- OSM file manipulation, point-of-interest (POI) extraction functionality and support for walkability indexes is provided by a package
OSMToolset.jl
The goal of this package is to provide a backbone for multi-agent modelling and simulation of cities.
The package can parse *.osm
and *.pbf
(contributed by @blegat) files and generate a Graphs.jl representation along the metadata.

- STABLE — documentation of the most recently tagged version.
- DEV — documentation of the development version.
- TUTORIAL — A simple tutorial showing routing simulation with OpenStreetMapX along with integration with folium via
PyCall.jl
- JuliaCon 2020 TUTORIAL — See the tutorial that has been presented during JuliaCon2020! A research application of this tutorial can be found in our paper On Broadcasting Time in the Model of Travelling Agents.
- JuliaCon 2021 TUTORIAL — NEW See the tutorial that has been presented during JuliaCon2021!
The current version uses at least Julia 1.6.
using Pkg; Pkg.add("OpenStreetMapX")
In order to plot the maps we recommend two tools:
- rendering the maps yourself with PyPlot or Plots.jl with backend - use the
OpenStreetMapXPlot.jl
package - extracting points-of-interests (POIs) from maps (such as restaurants, parks, schools, hospitals, grocery stores) - use the
OSMToolset.jl
package - rendering the maps with Leaflet.jl - use the Python folium package (examples can be found in the tutorial and the manual)
In order to install all plotting backends please run the commands below:
using Pkg
Pkg.add(["Plots", "OpenStreetMapXPlot", "CondaPkg"])
using CondaPkg
CondaPkg.add_channel("conda-forge")
CondaPkg.add("folium")
using OpenStreetMapX
filename = OpenStreetMapX.sample_map_path()
map_data = get_map_data(filename);
println("The map contains $(length(map_data.nodes)) nodes")
The picture above has been generated with folium
- for source code see the samples directory for a more complete example and have a look at OpenStreetMapXPlot.jl
for a route plotting.
The simplest way to get the map data is to go to the Open Street Map project web page.
In order to obtain the *.osm
file follow the steps below:
- Got to the area of your interest at https://www.openstreetmap.org/
- Click the "Export" button at the top of the page
- Click "Manually select a different area" to select the area of your interest
- Press the "Export" button on the left. Note that sometimes the Export link does not work - in this case click one of the links below the Export button (for example the Overpass API link)
This code is a major re-write of project - available at https://github.com/tedsteiner/OpenStreetMap.jl .
Compared to the original package major changes include among many others:
- New
Graphs.jl
is used for map data storage - Several changes with routing algorithm (currently finding a route in a 1 million people city takes around 150ms)
- Added support for using Google Maps API for routing
- Data structure adjustment to make the library more suitable to run simulations of cities.
Plots.jl
with GR is used as backend for map vizualization (via a separate packageOpenStreetMapXPlot.jl
)
