> To start with, we can now read structures as well as roads, and we try to

> Typical steps:
>
> 1. Go to http://www.openstreetmap.org/
>
> 2. Find somewhere interesting to you.
>
> You'll want to pick somewhere you already have elevation data for.
>
> 3. Click 'Export' and Format to Export: OpenStreetMap XML Data
>
> 4. Chose your area (not too large - it will limit you to a certain size
> area)
>
> 5. Press "Export", save the .osm file to your disk
>
> 6. Open VTBuilder, drop in the .osm file. It will make 2 new layers for
> you.
>
> 7. You may want to clean up the road network with "Roads: Clean Roadmap"
>
> 8. You'll want to use Layer: Convert Project so your new layers have the
> same CRS as your elevation (if they don't already).
>
> 9. Save your .vtst and .rmf to the usual places
>
> 10. Bring them up in Enviro.

> You can reply here on the list, how it worked. I am especially interested

> didn't import correctly. An interesting thing about OSM (a strength or a
> weakness depending on how you look at it) is that their worldwide community
> uses the semi-standard OSM tags in .. diverse ways. So, I look forward to
> adding more ways to interpret how the OSM tags are used.
