https://community.esri.com/t5/implementing-arcgis-questions/retrieve-geometry-of-country-boundary-from-osm/m-p/1404284#M755 <P>I would like to retrieve the boundary geometry of many countries so I can conduct some intersection tests with other geometry I have. I have been successfully doing this with local shapefiles via ShapefileFeatureTable, and also via a ServiceFeatureTable service. Having retrieved the geometry it's a simple matter to do a geometryengine.intersects test to see if the two geometries overlap.</P><P>I now wish to use OpenStreetMap (OSM) as my data source. I really need some guidance as to how to get started. There seems 15 different ways and wrappers to the OSM data. I know I can do an overpass query to get what I want, but I struggle to convert the result into a feature that I can do spatial testing on. I assume there is an easy way to query OSM and end up with a feature or featurecollection. As an example, I am trying to do the equivalent of the overpass query below to get the boundary for Alaska.<BR /><BR />[out:json][timeout:25];<BR />relation[boundary=administrative][admin_level=4]["name:en"=Alaska];<BR />out geom;</P><P>This gives me geometry in json, but I have to convert it to a feature. I'm looking for a way to skip that step and get a query result from OSM in a feature/featurecollection.</P><P>My program is in VB.NET using EsriArcgisruntime 200, but I can follow C++.</P> Tue, 02 Apr 2024 06:30:49 GMT MarcHillman 2024-04-02T06:30:49Z https://community.esri.com/t5/implementing-arcgis-questions/retrieve-geometry-of-country-boundary-from-osm/m-p/1404284#M755 <P>I would like to retrieve the boundary geometry of many countries so I can conduct some intersection tests with other geometry I have.
