Integrate OpenStreetMap (OSM) Using FME

Use FME to convert OpenStreetMap data and prepare it for GIS projects. Extract OSM tags and store them in attribute tables alongside your vector features. After creating the perfect workflow for conversion, run it automatically on new OSM files with FME Server.

Transform OpenStreetMap Data With FME

OpenStreetMap supplies free spatial data and has become a powerful GIS resource for many users. Whether you’re wanting to use OpenStreetMap data that others have provided, or you are the one wanting to provide data, FME can help you with your data conversion process.If the .osm file that you downloaded needs a bit of tweaking for your projects, look no further! FME is here to help.

Customize Data of Interest

OSM files are an XML based format specific to the OpenStreetMap platform. Although highly accessible, these files are not always optimal for analysis in a GIS. FME supports over 400 formats to help you transform OSM data so that it is compatible with the program of your choice. Use transformers like the AttributeExposer or 3DForcer in your workflow to create the perfect dataset for you and your team.
