Mapnificent Generator - Beta

This repo contains a Beta version of the Mapnificent Generator in Go. It takes GTFS feeds and converts them to Protocol Buffers that can be read by mapnificent.net.

Setting up the environment

Installing go dependencies

# You need go (do not forget to set $GOPATH)
go get github.com/golang/protobuf/proto
go get github.com/mapnificent/gogtfs
go get github.com/mapnificent/mapnificent_generator/mapnificent.pb

Installing python dependencies

# You need pipenv
pipenv --three install

Build distribution of the Mapnificent Generator

Setting transitfeed API key

export TRANSITFEED_API_KEY=<Your transitfeeds.com API Key>

Tasks

Download and update city automatically

# for example: pipenv run python -m scripts.download ~/mapnificent/_cities/aachen
pipenv run python -m scripts.download <mapnificent city directory containing markdown file>

Create a new city

# Additional information (cityid, cityname, coords, ...) are queried by the script on execution
# for example: pipenv run python -m scripts.create ~/mapnificent/_cities
pipenv run python -m scripts.create <mapnificent cities directory>

Create directly from GTFS

# for example: go run mapnificent.go -d ~/bolzano.zip -o ~/bolzano.bin -v
go run mapnificent.go -d <dir of GTFS files> -o <outputfile> -v
