What’s New with OSMnx, Part 1

There have been some major changes to OSMnx in the past couple months. I’ll review them briefly here, demonstrate some usage examples, then reflect on a couple upcoming improvements on the horizon. First, what’s new:

  • new consolidate_intersections function with topological option
  • new speed module to impute missing street speeds and calculate travel times for all edges
  • generalized POIs module to query with a flexible tags dict
  • you can now query OSM by date
  • you can now save graph as a geopackage file
  • clean up and streamline the OSMnx API
