🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

gosmore is a GTK+ application for viewing OpenStreetMap data. She can calculate the fastest route between two points, and she also has incremental search capability — with the results ordered by distance from the current viewpoint. Obsessed, honestly.

The wiki page has the deets on two pass bounding box rebuilding, bestie.

heads up: the binary file format is not yet stable, so rebuilding is recommended after upgrading. no cap, just do it 🫶

🎀 FILES 🎀

  • /usr/share/gosmore/elemstyles.xml, ~/.gosmore/elemstyles.xml — this file determines how each OSM element is rendered and how it affects routing. A list of valid icons can be found in /usr/share/gosmore/icons.csv.
  • gosmore.pak — the binary data created during rebuild.

🧚 ENVIRONMENT 🧚

  • QUERY_STRING — if this variable is set, gosmore will try to compute the specified route, output the result and then exit. that’s a headless query, iykyk ✨
