Open Street Map (OSM) tools, OSM/XML parser, tag extractor
This is going to be a set of tools which is intended to be used with huge OSM files like the planet files in XML format. The parser reads directly from packed *.gz files and it is not needed to unpack the OSM/XML data files to the local disk.
Now in 0.3.0:
osm_tags: tag analyzer (like tag watch)
osm_split: split osm file in single files for nodes, ways and relations and collect some meta information (will be used as input for other tools).
WW2D allows you to explore Earth using satellite imagery, topographic maps and image from other data sources also providing large placenames and boundaries database and allowing you to install community-made add-ons for even more info about our planet.
A planet-wide terrain generator, using simulated tectonic movements rather than fractals. Intended to produce richer information than just a heightmap - geology layers, climate, biomes, and resources.
