[GIS] Converting mapsforge .map file to OSM or shp

mapsforgeopenstreetmapshapefile

I have found solution for converting OSM file into .map file but is there a way for converting .map file back to osm or shp or any other well-known vector file type?

by .map file i mean mapsforge .map file, not mapinfo .map file

reading the mapsforge-dev mailinglist for a long time now, I never came accross such a conversion feature.

I assume that OSM data -> mapsforge mapfiles is a oneway processing.

But you can try to ask on your own there, see https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/mapsforge-dev

(I only found one similar question there from 2013, but no answer.)

You can use Python shapefile library pyshp

>>> import shapefile
>>> sf = shapefile.Reader("shapefiles/blockgroups")
>>> shapes = sf.shapes()
>>> # Read the bounding box from the 4th shape
>>> shapes[3].bbox
[-122.485792, 37.786931000000003, -122.446285, 37.811019000000002]
>>>#  Read the 8th point in the 4th shape
>>> shapes[3].points[7]
[-122.471063, 37.787402999999998]

i hope it helps you....

I think you could try passing through OSM files.

Convert your shp to OSM format with http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Shp-to-osm.jar (you have to write a mapping of your columns to OSM tags)
