Finding myself a little bored, I put together a poster (11″ x 17″) showing outlines of the CRAMBA<\/a>-supported trails on one overview. (Link<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This ended up being more popular than I expected, with a handful of people wanting to know how I did it, so I’ll detail the steps here:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Ensure that all the trail routes are in OpenStreetMap<\/a>.<\/li>
  2. Using JOSM<\/a> load each trail area one at a time and make an OSM XML<\/a> file with just the data you want outlined:
    1. Select the ways which comprise the trail you want shown.<\/li>
    2. Create a new data layer (Command-N).<\/li>
    3. Make the original data layer active.<\/li>
    4. Copy the selected data from the first layer to your new layer with Edit<\/em> \u2192 Merge Selection<\/em> (Shift-Command-M).<\/li>
    5. Hide the original data layer.<\/li>
    6. Review the new layer to be sure it has everything you want.<\/li>
    7. Select all nodes and ways (Command-A) and remove all tags to make later processing easier.<\/li>
    8. Look good? Is everything you want in the new layer? Save it to a .osm<\/code> file and do the next trail.<\/li><\/ol><\/li>
    9. Once you have an OSM file for each trail, convert them to Adobe Illustrator<\/a> format using this version of osm2ai.pl<\/a>.
      1. Get osm2ai.pl<\/code> working on your computer. I run this on macOS, and it works fine on Linux as well. Since it’s a Perl<\/a> script there are probably some dependencies; likely resolved by installing a few modules.<\/li>
      2. Process each OSM file with: osm2ai.pl --input infilename.osm --projection mercator --output outfilename.ai<\/code><\/li><\/ol><\/li>
      3. Open each file in Illustrator, combine them into a larger document, make it look the way you want, etc.<\/li>
      4. Done!<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
