No I did not used the coordinates, only the names. The train stations already exist in Openstreetmap. In JOSM, I either: - manually download a train station having only a japanese name - download an area with train stations, or the members of a railway relationship Using their japanese name as a key, I looked at their Wikipedia for their page and extract the names in other forms. I did not know about the database directive, so I think it seals my hopes of import :-( Thank you for your answer _______________________________________________ Imports mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/imports
