Hi Jochen, The main reason is I didn't make an extensive search of what other libs existed before, so yes perhaps, a bit of reinvented wheel syndrom... Looking a bit at Osmium documentation, which seems to be very elegant on a architectural point of view, there are a few things that would have been worth considering : - another dependency to add to the long list of dependencies of GDAL/OGR. I'm not sure how extensively it is packaged for common distros. - Osmium does not seem to be Windows ready according to its doc. - not a major point, but its licencing. I see it is LGPL, which is OK, but more "demanding" than GDAL X/MIT, which can be a problem for some people.
