[GIS] How to get shapefiles or kml files for city map in India

dataindiaopenstreetmap

I am doing a project.

In that I'm using QGIS for visualization purpose.

Using the OpenLayers plug-in i am getting map of a city.

What i want to know is whether I can convert that into shapefiles or KML files?

Or is there any process of getting shapefiles or kml files of a city's roads?

Best Answer

The background image of the Openlayers plugin is a set of tiles in raster format. You can not convert that to anything useful.

You can

  • digitize the features you want on the basis of the background
  • download Openstreetmap data (one of the available backgrounds of Openlayers) and filter that for the data you need.
