Route-Report
Route report is a command-line utility that can be used to locate points-of-interest near your planned route (gpx). The results are based on the database by OpenStreetMap.
If the metadata for the requested countries is not present then Route-Report first downloads OpenStreetMap metadata. Then, we use osmosis in the background to filter through the metadata and extract relevant locations. This has to be done only once for each country you want to use and the resulting, filtered file is quite small (<1MB for Germany). If you want to retrieve an up-to-date version of the files you can use the -r flag.
Note that the metadata files in this repo are only as up-to-date as their change date. You may want to download more recent files (-r flag). Supermarkets don't move often though :P
Usage
usage: route_report.py [-h] -f [route.gpx] [-d [<distance>]] [-c [countries]] [-r] [-o print|csv|google-sheets|pdf|1D-map]
[-p food-shop|petrol-station|water]
Finds stuff next to your route.
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-f [route.gpx], --input-file [route.gpx]
used to supply your gpx file
-d [<distance>], --search-distance [<distance>]
defines approx. search radius around route in kilometers (default=1km)
-c [countries], --country-codes [countries]
comma separated list of country codes (ISO 3166-1 Alpha-2 --> see Wikipedia), e.g., DE,US,FR
(default=AUTO --> autodetection)
-r, --redownload-files
set if you want to update the already downloaded and preprocessed country files
-o print|csv|google-sheets|pdf|1D-map, --output-modes print|csv|google-sheets|pdf|1D-map
comma separated list of output modes, e.g., print,csv (default=print)
-p food-shop|petrol-station|water, --points-of-interest food-shop|petrol-station|water
comma separated list of points-of-interest the program is supposed to look for along the route
(default=food-shop)
Points of Interest
Poi-groups are a collection of OpenStreetMap (OSM) tags are grouped together in our program. For example the poi-group food-shop represents convenience stores, grocery stores, bakeries, etc. The right column in the file ./other_data/osm_tags.csv shows you poi-groups you can search for along your route using the -p flag (see Example). The left column in that file represents all OSM tags that we search for given a specific poi-group(s).
You can change ./other_data/osm_tags.csv however you like, just be aware that the metadata files in this repository only contain locations with the tags we are using. If you wish to use your own tags you can refresh your metadata files using the -r flag after you have changed ./other_data/osm_tags.csv.
Autodetection of countries
We autodetect countries based on the gpx file you provide using the thematicmapping dataset. If you wish to use only a subset of country datasets you can specify them using the -c flag.
Autodetection of countries takes about 30s (on my laptop) for a 1000km route. This will take even longer for longer routes. Therefore, I suggest you directly specify countries with the -c if computing resources are scarce.
Example
Assuming you have route planned on Komoot and you want to know about food-shop and petrol-station (-p) next to your route that are within 1km (-d) you can download the gpx file and then run the command below (route).
>>> python3 route_report.py -f test_route_andorra.gpx -p food-shop,petrol-station -d 1

Ignore the leftmost column. The column cum_distance_km represents the point of the route where the grocery store has been found and the column shop_distance_to_route represents how far away the shop is from the route in kilometers. For example, after riding this route for 11 kilometers you will encounter a Caprabo (food-shop) 16m next to the route.
Future Work
The filtering part (with osmosis) only works on Linux for now. I plan on supplying either already filtered files for each country or some alternative that works on Windows/Mac in the future. Note that the rest of the program should still work on other platforms.
There are many minor touches missing, e.g., a nicer output, creating an executable, custom alerts, or supporting the imperial system.
