[GRASS-user] osm data in grass

[maning sambale]

Hi,

AFAIK the v.in.osm is for the old API (0.4) of OSM.  You can't use it
for the current data. There are utilities to import OSM data to
various formats checkout their wiki:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/

But if you want GIS ready data derived from OSM, you can download
shapefiles here:

and here
