I usually use GDAL to convert the shapefile into GML, then fine-tune the gml2osm script by hand and run it. -- -- Iván Sánchez Ortega <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Proudly running Debian Linux with 2.6.24-1-amd64 kernel, KDE 3.5.9, and PHP 5.2.5-3 generating this signature.

Re: [OSM-talk] Bulk Data Import how-to and tips
Hi, Patrick Maybe there is a better way, but this is what I would do: - get a shapefile of Luxembourg (or a simple polygon shapefile that contains all of Luxembourg). Let's call it lux.shp. - download the roads for Luxembourg currently in OSM from http://download.geofabrik.de/osm/europe/ Now you will need a GIS application: - select the roads tagged as motorway, motorway_link, trunk, trunk_link, primary or primary_link from that shapefile and export them to another shapefile. - perform a buffer of that shapefile (for example, use 100 meters for the radius) - perform a difference operation: lux.shp minus the buffer you have just created - finally, clip the official shapefile of the Luxembourg roads with the result of that substraction and export the resulting shapefile to the OSM format with that python script. And then, you will have to carefully connect those ways with the current ways in OSM, and revise the tags, of course.
