MapLar

MapLar exports map data into shapefiles for:

• Roads
• Sidewalks
• Street features (street lamps, crossings, traffic signals, bus stops)

It uses OpenStreetMap data through the Overpass API and writes shapefiles you can open in QGIS/ArcGIS.

Setup

python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

Run

Use a bounding box:

python3 maplar.py --bbox MIN_LAT MIN_LON MAX_LAT MAX_LON --outdir output

Example:

python3 maplar.py --bbox 37.7749 -122.4194 37.7849 -122.4094 --outdir output/sf

Output

MapLar creates:

• roads.shp/.shx/.dbf
• sidewalks.shp/.shx/.dbf
• street_features.shp/.shx/.dbf

Each layer is written into the selected output directory.
