[Geotools-gt2-users] Using OpenStreet Map as Shapefile

[nvidia <luo...@ho...>]

Hi,

   Is it possible to convert the maps on OpenStreetMap to shapefile? and
store this into a database? As the site does not provide any format types to
store it of this nature. Although looking at my prevous post a while ago
http://www.nabble.com/Obtaining-Shapefile-Data-For-London-Motorways-to18908345.html#a18938969,
he said i could but i can't see it on the options.

Cheers

The easiest way to do it is to use the osm2psql tool and then export
the fields you need as a shapefile from postgis if you really need a
shapefile.

Hi Ian,

  This might sound silly but, apologise if it does sound that way, where can
i find the osm2psql tool?
Also, can you tell me why this part of the forum was moved onto Nabbl2?
before it was Nabble1, did something major happen?

Cheers

Would you mind specifying what you mean by osm2psql please.

These are really questions for the OSM lists rather than GeoTools  but
searching for postgis on the OSM wiki finds the following page:
