[GIS] OpenStreetMap default style for roads

openstreetmapqgisxml

I'm using the OpenStreetMap plugin for QGIS and I've successfully rendered a .osm file (lines). I've tried a few styles from github but so far none of them label all of the streets like the osm default style.

Is the default style available somewhere? And what format should I be looking for for a .osm file, xml, sld, qml.

Check out underdark's various posts on styling OSM data in QGIS. Most methods for advanced styling use the new rule-based rendering. You will want switch to the 'New Symbology' in the layer properties dialog to access it.

Style formats for layers in a QGIS project are saved with the .qml extension.

To do this I would use the tools of ArcGIS Editor for OpenStreetMap to download a file geodatabase in your area of interest.

OSM Editor makes it easy for you to download OSM data, use it for analysis in your research and maps, and upload changes back to the OSM database if desired.

If you prefer shapefiles over the feature classes that it creates then they are easily converted.

You would have to use the COALESCE function every time a name is requested in the sql of the project.mml.

E.g. for country_names (see https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/blob/master/project.mml#L1195-L1216 ):

  - id: country-names
geometry: point
<<: *extents
Datasource:
  <<: *osm2pgsql
  table: |-
    (SELECT
        ST_PointOnSurface(way) AS way,
        way_area/NULLIF(POW(!scale_denominator!*0.001*0.28,2),0) AS way_pixels,
        COALESCE(tags->'name:en', name) AS name
      FROM planet_osm_polygon
      WHERE ST_PointOnSurface(way) && !bbox!
        AND name IS NOT NULL
        AND boundary = 'administrative'
        AND admin_level = '2'
        AND way_area > 100*POW(!scale_denominator!*0.001*0.28,2)
        AND way_area < 4000000*POW(!scale_denominator!*0.001*0.28,2)
        AND osm_id < 0
      ORDER BY way_area DESC
    ) AS country_names
properties:
  minzoom: 2

There are quite a few occurrences where a name is selected, you would have to change all those where you want the English label used (if available).
