[gdal-dev] open street map data

[Carl Anderson]

Nick,

Nice to see you here.

You may want to try

http://code.google.com/p/osm2shp/
http://sourceforge.net/projects/osm2shpjava/

or use
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Osm2pgsql
and convert to a shapefile from PostGIS.

The last choice requires a postgresql/postgis setup but is very well tested.
