Hi, Why didn't you like the GDAL utility program ogr2ogr? The command to use for converting OSM points into a point shapefile is ogr2ogr -f "ESRI Shapefile" osm_points.shp input.osm points
If you want to change the field names you can use the following syntax ogr2ogr -f "ESRI Shapefile" osm_points.shp input.osm -sql "select name as alias_name from points" Edit the osmconf.ini file for selecting the tags you want to include in the shapefile. Osmconf.ini is a plain text file and GDAL ships with a template which has helpful comments. Here is a snippet. # keys to report as OGR fields attributes=name,barrier,highway,ref,address,is_in,place,man_made # keys that, alone, are not significant enough to report a node as a OGR point unsignificant=created_by,converted_by,source,time,ele # keys that should NOT be reported in the "other_tags" field ignore=created_by,converted_by,source,time,ele,note,openGeoDB:,fixme,FIXME # uncomment to avoid creation of "other_tags" field #other_tags=no -Jukka Rahkonen- amrit karmacharya wrote: > I need to make shapefiles with custom tags from osm data.
