NAME

Geo::OSM::MapFeatures - Parses and represents OpenStreetMap Map Features

VERSION

Version 0.01

SYNOPSIS

use Geo::OSM::MapFeatures;

my $mf = new Geo::OSM::MapFeatures; $mf->download(); $mf->parse();

# To print a simple ascii representation: foreach my $category ( $mf->categories() ){ print "\n\n===== $category =====\n"; foreach my $feature ( $mf->features($category) ){ print "$feature\n"; } }

# Or you can choose not to use the string overloading and get the # individual elements yourself: foreach my $category ( $mf->categories() ){ print "\n\n===== $category =====\n"; foreach my $feature ( $mf->features($category) ){ print "Key: ".$feature->key()."\n"; print "Value(s): ". join("\n ", @{$feature->values()})."\n"; print "Description: ".$feature->description()."\n\n"; } }
