How to Use the Data

Use the data to display bookcases in OsmAnd, JOSM, uMap, and more. Visit them in person and add or update them on OpenStreetMap.

Using OsmAnd

Note: To avoid lag, do not use bookcases.gpx file. Instead, use the region-specific GPX files, such as Bretagne.gpx.

1. Open the bookcases folder for the latest data.
2. Download a region-specific GPX file (e.g., Bretagne.gpx).
3. Copy the GPX file to your device.
4. Open OsmAnd.
5. Go to Favorites.
6. Use the + (import) button.
7. Select the GPX file.
8. Bookcases are now displayed on the map.

Using JOSM

1. Open the bookcases folder for the latest data.
2. Download the bookcases.geojson file.
3. Open JOSM.
4. Use the Open File button.
5. Select the bookcases.geojson file.
6. Bookcases are now displayed on the map.

How to Update the Data

1. Install the necessary Python libraries:

   pip install beautifulsoup4 fake_useragent geojson matplotlib pandas selenium shapely

2. Run 1_fetch_bookcases.py to fetch and create bookcases.geojson.
3. Run 2_filter_by_region.py to split the bookcases into GeoJSON files for each French region.
4. Run 3_create_OsmAnd_gpx.py to convert each GeoJSON file into an OsmAnd GPX file.
