Tasking Manager Jan 2024 Release: Introducing Downloadable OSM Data 🚀

We're thrilled to unveil a groundbreaking feature in the first release of 2024 for Tasking Manager: the ability to download OSM Data directly for a project's mapping area! 🎉

Download OSM Data 🚢

Each Tasking Manager project now boasts a dedicated Download OSM Data section, providing seamless access to pre-generated base map feature exports in GeoJSON, KML, and SHP formats.

Download OSM Data

This enhancement takes inspiration from the flexibility offered by HOT's Export Tool.


FAQs:

Is the data export available for everyone? 👥

Absolutely! These exports are accessible to everyone, with or without a Tasking Manager login.

How often is the data refreshed? ⌛

Initially, exports were generated for all Tasking Manager projects in the second week of January 2024. Going forward, we're committed to refreshing the exports daily at 12 AM UTC, exclusively for published projects with user activity in the last 24 hours.

What is the data source? 🗺️ 👨‍💻

The data is exported from OpenStreetMap into a database managed by the HOT environment. We then clip it by project boundaries and filter it based on each project's mapping type. To keep the data current for active projects, we employ a combination of the raw-data-api and the tm-extractor script, running seamlessly every day.

For any questions about the codebase and data, your primary contact is @kshitijrajsharma.
