[Qgis-user] Open street map

Fri May 8 13:54:36 PDT 2015

I've download the OSM data from Vector>open street map> download data. Then imported the topology from xml then exported to Spatialite specifying poly lines. When do this for the span of lower Manhattan in New York City, I get a beautiful set of map data that is unfortunately missing quite a few major streets. Exporting as polygons doesn't omit those streets from the map but I need the center lines. Importing the .osm file directly gives the same results of missing  streets. I've tried 4 times with same results.

What am I doing wrong?

There are loads of possibilities via LINZ but none provide a general topo image or similar suitable for whole country that looks reasonable as a map background (e.g. the terrain relief map is in big blocks and do not seem to be able to select out the coastline using vector to tidy up the edges, qgis raster clipper simply says the coastline shapefile or any other shapefile will not work to cut the raster).
