Hello! I want to use leaflet similar to this example, but with the german Laender instead of US States. So I need the german Laender shapes in geoJSON format. Also, I need the shapes of some Landkreise (districts).
Is there a source from where I can get that?
Is there a simple way to get the shapes from OSM, but already in geoJSON format?
Hi,
The fast way is to download some OSM data either from some API or from Geofabrik and use GDAL utility program ogr2ogr with OSM and GeoJSON drivers.
http://gdal.org/ogr2ogr.html
http://www.gdal.org/ogr/drv_geojson.html
http://gdal.org/ogr/drv_osm.html
Usage is then like this
ogr2ogr -f GeoJSON test.json berlin.osm.pbf -sql “select * from points where amenity=‘pub’”
And the result looks like this

Read the documentation about the “osmconf.ini” configuration file. After that you can do almost whatever you want with the -sql parameter.
Looks like what I need, thank you!
