Importing open street map data through readgeotable fails

Dear community,

Exporting a file directly from open street map (in my code called <map.osm>) and then importing it using the readgeotable function returns me an error. Could you please tell me why?

Thanks!:)

My code and error message follow:

clear all
filename = 'map.osm';
lake = readgeotable(filename, Layer = "water");

Error using readgeotable

Unable to read 'map.osm'. Format may not be supported, file may be corrupt, or a supporting file may have been

specified.

Error in my_lake (line 6)

lake = readgeotable(filename, Layer = "water");

The functionality of reading .OSM files via readgeotable was introduced in R2023b. Reference - https://in.mathworks.com/help/map/ref/readgeotable.html#mw_1c7133d7-c4a9-4b57-b5ad-997551a889e3

As you are working with R2023a, you are not able to use/access it.

You will have to update your MATLAB version to R2023b to access that functionality.
