I like the idea. I'd really like to have some kind of manipulation of tags. Something I'd like to do is importing via spreadsheets… I'm taking a public domain source (addresses and opening hours of government (US) post offices) and slowly encoding them into a spreadsheet. It's faster to enter things into a spreadsheet than it is to enter them through Merkaartor/whatever editor. I'd like to create an object in Merkaator, run a script, and have it prompt me to select a line of the spreadsheet, and have each of the columns associated with that line imported as tags for that object in Merkaartor. At the moment, the way I am trying to do this is a hack munging .OSM files… which isn't going well. Integration as a plugin into Merkaartor would be much more user-friendly. -- Samat K Jain <http://samat.org/> | GPG: 0x4A456FBA Barth's Distinction: There are two types of people: those who divide people into two types, and those who don't. -- None (355)
