Overview

There have been many requests from the community for improved downloading of OpenStreetMap (OSM) data through the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) Export Tool. A generous grant from the Hewlett Foundation has now provided funding making it possible to develop and re-write the tool in Python following the Django framework in order to address key issues identified and listed in the hot-exports repository.

Deliverables

• Implement the redesign of the User Interface
• Improve user help documentation
• Rebuild the service on the HOT server
• Maintain key features from the current version
• Add key feature enhancements as listed in GitHub:

1. Allow individual file formats to be selected for export #78
2. Add the OSMAnd .obf file format #77
3. Provide projection options, or default to EPSG:4326 #80
4. Include status bar displaying export progress #74
