I have started work on a tool to sync these (code at <http://github.com/epa/osm_postboxes>). So far it just generates a report for manual fixing, but I will make it a bot fairly soon. I have entered the data for one postcode area, E10. However I would like to check again with the legal mailing list, because I'm planning to import not just the location of the postbox (which has been found by hand by contributors to the Dracos site, as discussed) and its 'ref' number, but also the postcode and address listed in the file. For example the following row from <http://www.dracos.co.uk/play/locating-postboxes/export.php>: Ref=E10 18 PC=E10 5AH Loc1=Capworth Street Loc2=(blank) Latitude=51.5729084 Longitude=-0.0116965 Last M-F=17:30 Last Sat=11:30 gets turned into the following in OSM: node with lat=51.5729084, lon=-0.0116965, and tags: amenity=post_box ref=E10 18 postal_code=E10 5AH addr:street=Capworth Street It appears to me that adding these two extra tags postal_code and addr:street (and sometimes addr:housenumber) from the data file should be okay, but I wanted to check with this list. If these are felt to be a step too far then I will just add the lat,lon and ref. -- Ed Avis <e...@waniasset.com> _______________________________________________ legal-talk mailing list legal-talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/legal-talk
