Feature Request: Add job to create .mwm files for OrganicMaps

Open Josh-SMU opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

OrganicMaps creates its own offline map files similar to, but different from, Osmand .obf files using the tool here: https://github.com/organicmaps/organicmaps/tree/master/tools/python/maps_generator

As the data inputs are the same, would it be possible to add this to the CI so that super maps can be downloaded for either platform?

I did a couple test runs a few years ago: https://patricknoll.com/posts/Add-Open-Address-Data-To-MapsMe

The show stopper was that they try to autocorrect addresses based on nearby streets ,randomly breaking added addresses: https://github.com/mapsme/omim/issues/12121. I'm not sure if organic has changed anything with respect to that.

Some other big things that need to be dealt with:

  • program would seg fault if map file wasn't built with the right branch
  • have to bring your own coastline for coastlines to render

I have no interest in doing it. It's probably not even worth doing until the above issues are worked out in OrganicMaps. That said, if you or someone else wants to work on it, I would be open to merging it.
