In maposm: Get Map Layers from 'OpenStreetMap'

Package description

Description

The OpenStreetMap database provides a wide range of highly detailed geographic layers on a global scale. To obtain synthetic information for cartographic purposes, layers must be selected, simplified, merged, or modified. maposm downloads OpenStreetMap extracts and performs these operations to create a set of composite layers of urban areas, buildings, green spaces, main roads, secondary roads, railways, and water bodies.

om_get is used to download, merge and simplify the geographic layers.
om_map is used to map the layers. Several themes are available to map the layers ("light", "dark", "grey" and "pizza").
om_write can be used to write the layers to a geopackage file.
om_read can be used to read these geopackages.
