About

This tool was developed to help automate the processes needed to prepare government supplied Shapefiles for an OSM import. It is intended to create file suitable to be run through Telenav's Cygnus conflation tool that requires files to be less than 50km x 50km.

The inegi_mgn.py file is specific to an import here at Kaart but is a simple example of a translation file. More examples can be seen in the ogr2osm/translations directory.
