TL;DR: yet another tool for converting .sos to .osm available under https://github.com/thomas001/jsosiosm
Hello everybody, first, sorry for writing in English here, but I do not speak any Norwegian. Because I was a bit dissatisfied with the available OSM data available for Norway (exactly the hiking path we wanted to take was not in the maps!), I started to look for other free maps. I stumbled across the free map data available from kartverket. Of cause, neither there bitmap maps nor their map webpage was really useful. So I wanted to use their vector data for my hiking purposes. There seemed to be no good tool to convert SOSI files to OSM (yes there is sosi2osm, but it seemed incomplete...why didn't I work on sosi2osm? good question...), so I started writing a new tool as hobby project. This tool is now pretty usable and understands nearly all information available in the freely available "N50" map data. I created some nice maps of the area around Ålesund for my Garmin GPS using it. :-) You can have a look at the source (and get a precompiled .jar file) at https://github.com/thomas001/jsosiosm. The mapping community also wants to import the N50 data into the official OSM database, maybe this tool is helpful. Please feel free to post your ideas about my project. - Thomas
