- Buildings — polygons (Polygon) with OpenStreetMap tags
- Greenery — green-zone polygons with tags
What the file carries

How to use SpatiaLite for Bø
- QGIS — drag the file into the program window or add it through the Data Source Manager; the tables will appear as ordinary layers.
- DB Browser for SQLite — look through the tables and run a query; for spatial functions load the mod_spatialite module.
- spatialite-gui and the console spatialite — the project's own tools: queries with spatial functions work out of the box.

FAQ: SpatiaLite for Bø
How is SpatiaLite different from GeoPackage?
SpatiaLite is a full spatial database with SQL queries. GeoPackage is a simplified container for data exchange.
Can I open SpatiaLite in QGIS?
Yes, QGIS works great with SpatiaLite -- just drag and drop the file.
Which tables will be in the database?
One per exported layer: roads, buildings, water, green zones and the rest that were present in your area. Each table has a geometry column and the OpenStreetMap attributes.
Which coordinate system is the geometry stored in?
WGS84 (EPSG:4326) — latitude and longitude. To compute lengths and areas in meters, either reproject the geometry right in the query or use the geodesic functions of SpatiaLite.
Do I need to install anything to open the file?
For QGIS — nothing, support is built in. For queries in third-party tools you need the mod_spatialite module: on Linux it is installed as a package, on Windows it is placed next to the program.
