Exporting stops from OpenStreetMap and importing them to NimBus
This guide describes how to export stops from OpenStreetMap to a KML file and add them to NimBus subsequently.
To export data from OpenStreetMap, we use the third-party site https://export.hotosm.org. You can also use other similar services (https://extract.bbbike.org, https://overpass-turbo.eu, etc.).
