Convertir OSM en GDB

Comprendre les formats de fichiers OSM et GDB

OSM (OpenStreetMap) files are XML-based files that store geographic data, such as roads, buildings, and points of interest, contributed by the global OpenStreetMap community. These files are widely used for mapping, navigation, and GIS applications.

GDB (Garmin Database) files are proprietary binary files used by Garmin GPS devices and software. They store waypoints, routes, and tracks, making them essential for navigation and trip planning on Garmin devices.
