<title>RE: [CASE:10366] Present administrative borders in Norway as polygons in Shape file?</title>
</head>
<body>Hello guys,
<div><br /></div>
<div>Generation of our downloads in general takes 3-4 days if we'll add relations to them it won't complete in a month time so for now it's impossible.</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>As a solution I can ask our developer to create data with relations only for Norway, but it can be done only in to weeks, because now he's on vacation. Can you wait?<br />
<div><span><span>
<p>With best regards,</p>

I had a look at the shape file export of OpenStreetmap.org <br />available from <br />/downloads.cloudmade.com/europe/norway/norway.shapefiles.zip >, <br />to see if it could be used to get the internal borders of Norway <br />(kommune and fylke). The administrative borders are present, but only <br />as lines and not as polygons. <br /> <br />Would it be possible to adjust the export to present these borders as <br />polygons? <br /> <br />I have checked in OpenStreetmap.org, and there the admin borders are <br />present as relations, so the raw material should be present. The <br />Shape file export seem to only export the individual lines, ignoring <br />the borders that are drawn as rivers, and not group the complete <br />border as a polygon. <br /> <br />The reason I am
asking is that we need the admin borders for use by a <br />Norwegian version of FixMyStreet, and importing it from <br />OpenStreetmap.org seem like a good idea. The FixMyStreet source <br />currently handle shape files, so finding a shape file export of OSM <br />with the adminstrative borders seem like a good idea. <br /> <br />Cc to the Norwegian fiksgatami project mailing list. <br /> <br />Happy hacking, <br />-- <br />Petter Reinholdtsen</div>
