Imports OpenStreetMap (OSM) data into R as 'sf', 'SC', 'sp', 'data.frame' or 'xml_document' objects. OSM data are extracted from the overpass API and processed with very fast C++ routines for return to R. The package enables simple overpass queries to be constructed without the user necessarily understanding the syntax of the overpass query language, while retaining the ability to handle arbitrarily complex queries. Functions are also provided to enable recursive searching between different kinds of OSM data (for example, to find all lines which intersect a given point).

Usage

osmdata(
  bbox = NULL,
  overpass_call = NULL,
  meta = NULL,
  osm_points = NULL,
  osm_lines = NULL,
  osm_polygons = NULL,
  osm_multilines = NULL,
  osm_multipolygons = NULL
)

Arguments

bbox

bounding box

overpass_call

overpass_call

meta

metadata of overpass query, including timestamps and version numbers

osm_points

OSM nodes as sf Simple Features Collection of points or sp SpatialPointsDataFrame

osm_lines

OSM ways sf Simple Features Collection of linestrings or sp SpatialLinesDataFrame

osm_polygons

OSM ways as sf Simple Features Collection of polygons or sp SpatialPolygonsDataFrame

osm_multilines

OSM relations as sf Simple Features Collection of multilinestrings or sp SpatialLinesDataFrame

osm_multipolygons

OSM relations as sf Simple Features Collection of multipolygons or sp SpatialPolygonsDataFrame

Note

Class constructor should never be used directly, and is only exported to provide access to the print method

Functions to Prepare Queries

  • getbb: Get bounding box for a given place name

  • bbox_to_string: Convert a named matrix or a named vector (or an unnamed vector) return a string

  • overpass_status: Retrieve status of the overpass API

  • opq: Build an overpass query

  • add_osm_feature: Add a feature to an overpass query

  • opq_string: Convert an osmdata query to overpass API string

Functions to Get Additional OSM Information
