import openstreetmap data

[microelly2]

When the "first version" of the importer is done,
I will put/improve my navigator onto the model: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_6GzgEE67Y

I think having a realistic perspective camera is essential. the camera has a near and a far distance.

this all is open inventor stuff and I hope to get all customizable.
(in the worst case I rewrite the complete scene for the scene in pivy, but still I'm optimistic)

my last tests:
without refresh oif the gui the import process is to stupid, so
I do a refresh of the gui only after 100 new buildings: 0.02 to 0.04 secs per house -> 60 sec for 1500 objects
without refresh of the gui I need 0.01 secs per house
I think this runtime is good enough.

next steps:

*dialog for the coordinates
*change of the object names and storing tag data into App::DocumentObjectGroupPython containers
*visualization of the "relation" objects

I have completed the first version as a one function workbench,
I think this workbench can grow now.

The openstreetmap website has a good interface to request data on fly,
so the data which must be stored into freecad can be minimal (coordinates and node ids)

I'm still looking for free data sources for height information and lod.
