Load OSM file (Version 10.4x64) #161

Closed rvhgaea closed 7 years ago

rvhgaea commented 7 years ago

The tool Load OSM file seems to work until you open the filegeodatabase, which is empty.

Added : the same results with the tool OSM File Loader (Load only)

result

Version used : OSM 10.4x64 on ArcMap 10.4.1

Am I doing something wrong or is the tool not working properly?

Regards,

Robert

The tool can't find any elements in the OSM file as the counting elements line doesn't report any nodes, ways, or numbers. How did you generate the OSM file?

rvhgaea commented 7 years ago

I have examined the file and indeed it is empty. It gave an error message that it ren out of memory. The file itself was downloaded from OSM after making a selection. I have to say that this very strange. I will try another file and look what it does. Thank you for your reply. I will give an update later.

The export button on the OSM website results momentarily in an webpage error, I don't if it is related. Via the Overpass API I could download a file, which was imported successfully. So the error seems to be the file and not the tool.

Thanks again!

Be aware that even using the Overpass API, there may at times, and especially with larger extracts, be query time-outs, meaning the produced XML file is incomplete. AFAIK Overpass API has some limits set on the maximum amount of RAM a query may consume, and also the time a query may run, so as to avoid using up the entire servers resources by a single user.

For country size extents, it is best to download an extract from Geofabrik, where you can easily select your country: http://www.geofabrik.de/
