[Qgis-developer] New OpenStreetMap integration

[Mathieu Pellerin]

Martin, the InitSpatialMetadat() error is gone, and things are working
quite nicely.

For the record, this new OSM support fixed a very irritating bug from the
old implementation: closed way roundabouts are imported as lines! Big bonus.

Playing around with it, I was wondering whether - for the sake of offering
a better user experience - the import topology from XML and export topology
to spatialite  should be merged into one action. Realistically, my guess is
very few QGIS users will want to _only_ do an import to topology step.
Merging both into one would simplify things for the average Joe.

In that regard, it might also be good to offer (via a checkbox?) to
automatically load the resulting spatialite line / polygon db into the
active project.

Beyond that, it's working like a charm.
