Maps with Rhino

Hello,

This morning, I saw a post from Omkar Bhagwat.

He is creating an app to connect Open Street Maps with Rhino.

Very cool concept.

There is a Grasshopper Plugin, ELK, to get GIS data into Rhino.

I am no expert using the plugin.

And its latest update in Food4Rhino is from 2011…

But this plugin works like this:

• Extract OMS (GIS) data and organize it with Grasshopper.

• Get roads, lots, paths, water bodies, green areas, and building info… as Rhino geometry.

Extract information from a specific place as geometry.

The last time I used the plugin was at least 4 years ago…

And I didn´t need to get Geo Data with GH lately.

That´s why I want to ask you.

If you have experience with extracting GIS data.

What is your preferred way to get Geo Data into Rhino, using Grasshopper?

…

Well, what Omkar is doing is:

“I've been developing a Rhino app that connects directly to OpenStreetMap (OSM), allowing users to bring real-world spatial data into Rhino.”

Here is the link to Omkar´s post if you want to check it out.

Have a nice end of the week!
