How to Convert OpenStreetMap data (.gpx) in to Shapefile (ESRI)

When we needs to add OpenStreetMap data (.gpx) data into ArcMap we have to convert it into Shapefiles where we have to use different converters to do so, Here I have used simplest way to convert OpenStreetMap data (.gpx) data into ESRI Shapefile by opening OpenStreetMap data (.gpx) data through  QGIS.

Step 1,

Open QGIS



Step 2,

then go to Layers - Add Vector Layer


Step 3,

Brows to your OpenStreetMap data (.gpx) and select file type as 'All Files',


Step 4, 

Select vector layer you wants to add (In this case I have used routes)

Step 5,

You can see your downloaded road network.



Step 6,

 Right click on your layer - Save as - ESRI Shapefile 





Step 7,

Select Coordinate system you need


Step 8,

Open ArcMap - Add layer


Step 9,

Even if you open the attribute table you can find the Road names...
