How to join/merge two OSM files of the same region?

General talk
1

Hallo, can someone explain to me how I can join to osm files of the same region (exactly the same because caut with osmosis bounding box)?
I want to include contour lines into a normal country.osm file and afterwards use mkgmap to produce .img for Garmin. Mkgmap cannot join osm files, it can produce .img files that show at the same time, but consist of data.img contour.img tiles. Then one cannot achieve to have the contourlines above polygons but below polylines. Therefore I’ld like to join the osm files themselves.

BTW, here’s my my current workflow for Austria for producing a hiking/biking map. - just in case anyone else would like to compose a map for Austria for his Garmin unit (I use different contour files for the main alps from viewfinderpanorama - they compile smaller than non void filled srtm files. If you want to use SRTM1’ (30m resolution instead of 90m) then the tiles have to be cut to about a tenth of the current size):

Remove headers “” tags and all, then paste all the files together. You can do this easily with unix tools, I don’t know how todo this in Windows, so install Cygwin.

place all osm files in one dir and create a file with and run it with “bash filename”

#!/bin/bash
joinedfile=lotsofmaps.osm
echo '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<osm version="0.5" generator="OpenStreetMap server">' >>$joinedfile
for data in *.osm; do 
   sed '/ *<?xml/d;/ *<osm/d;/ *<bounds/d;/ *<.osm>/d;' $data >>$joinedfile;
done;
echo '</osm>' >>$joinedfile;

Allright thank you a lot. I will try that. (I got dualboot with ubuntu anyhow).

I’m sure there are tools that does this, but it’s so simple to do on your own… So… Cygwin is pretty easy to install if you don’t want to dualboot, but I shouldn’t hinder you to come over to the d… uh… brown side…
