Setup

Edit lines of OsmAndMapCreator/batch.xml file and set full directory path to github project directory, e.g.

directory_for_osm_files="/home/<user_name>/projects/github/osm.pbf2obf/osm_files"
directory_for_index_files="/home/<user_name>/projects/github/osm.pbf2obf/index_files"

Edit lines of osm.pbf2obf.sh file

HOMEDIR="/home/<user_name>/projects/github/osm.pbf2obf"
OSMANDFILE="Bolivia_southamerica.osm.pbf"

JAVA_MMAX="2560m"

where:

• HOMEDIR - is the full directory path to the project cloned
• OSMANDFILE - filename inside the osmand directory on the mobile device, e.g. Japan_asia.obf, Spain_europe.obf, Bolivia_southamerica.obf
• SRCURL - url of the ".pbf" file. Get from download.geofabrik.de, download.openstreetmap.fr or mapzen.com/metro-extracts

If you have Ubuntu based distro, replace the first line with

#!/bin/bash

Execute

1. Run script

   $ sh osm.pbf2obf.sh // POSIX distro

   $ bash osm.pbf2obf.sh // Ubuntu based distro

2. Go and pour yourself a cup of coffee (not instant) because it will take a few minutes ;-)

3. Once generated your obf file, you can copy it into the osmand directory on your mobile device

Schedule

If you want to create a new file every night, you could add a crontab line like

0 4 * * * /home/<user_name>/projects/github/osm.pbf2obf/osm.pbf2obf.sh > /dev/null 2>&1

Enjoy!
