What is OSM file?
The OSM file extension is one of the most commonly used data files on OpenStreetMap. The OSM file was developed by surveying the entire globe using GPS receivers and digital cameras, as well as internet sources. The contents of this file are vector points and lines that make up the map. It displays landforms such as lakes, rivers, trees, buildings, or even roads.
