# rmkmapper

## Rationale

The Estonian State Forest Management Centre maintains many [recreational

sites](http://loodusegakoos.ee/en) (or points of interest in rmkmapper's

terms). There are two issues:

* Despite much fanfare about launching an [open data

  initiative](https://opendata.riik.ee/) years ago, this has fizzled in

  Estonia and as such, most public sector organizations including the

  SFMC has not provided machine-readable data of their activities

* The official site has no overview map of all the various types of

  sites

rmkmapper solves these issues by:

* providing a command-line tool to crawl SFMC's web site and compile a

  machine-readable (GeoJSON) dump of all the POIs

* providing a simple web application displaying a zoomable, filterable,

  interactive map of all the POIs

**An occasionally updated 

[demo is available](http://biit.cs.ut.ee/~arak/projects/rmk/)**.

In addition, this project allows converting GPS tracks to GeoJSON from various

formats (using GPSBabel for the heavy lifting) and provides a Perl module for

conversion between the L-EST 97 and WSG84 (latitude / longitude) coordinate

systems.

## Command-line tool

The CLI tool requires a reasonably recent version of Perl 5,

HTML::TreeBuilder, JSON::XS, LWP::Simple.

Usage:

```

rmkmapper.pl [-p | -t url] [-o dir] [...]

Print a JSON string representing all RMK objects.

--ofile-dir, -d   - Directory containing pre-downloaded RMK object HTML files.

                    Skip crawling for object files on the web. Note that this

                    mode is more tolerant to errors, merely warning if a file

                    cannot be parsed into an object. Use a command similar to

                    the following to generate a local cache of object files in

                    cwd:

                    wget -O - http://eid.ee/3te | 

                    wget -rLEnH -A '*.html' -l0 -Fi - -B http://loodusegakoos.ee

--pois, -p        - Generate a GeoJSON index of points of interest (default)

--tracks, -t      - Generate a GeoJSON index of tracks based on the passed GPS

                    file or URL (requires gpsbabel on $PATH). Can be passed

                    several times for a combined dump.

--tracks-type, -T - The type of the tracks file, passed to gpsbabel via -i

--max-num, -n     - Maximum number of POIs to parse, for debugging

--ugly, -u        - Print compact JSON with minimal whitespace
