[OSM-talk] Fwd: Boundaries in Haiti
2010/1/16 Frédéric Bonifas fredericboni...@gmail.com: Hi, Based on the data here : https://www.geoint-online.net/community/haitiearthquake/default.aspx of the US Census Bureau, I extracted the city and town borders for Haiti. The tags I used are : is_in=name of the district name=* boundary=administrative admin_level=8 source=US Census Bureau population=* id_commune=ID given in the source file The file is here : http://fredericbonifas.free.fr/haiti_boundaries.osm Does it seem ok to you before uploading ? I would prefer to upload the complete borders of haiti with departements, arrondissements, citys and suburbs. Instead of your method of on way per city, we should use relations. Is there an easy to remove these boundaries if we get better ones later ? You could easily remove all admin_level=8 ways in certain bbox. If we want to use this borders, I will create an import file.

If we want to use this borders, I will create an import file. from what I can see at the moment that is a huge list of dots! Some are costline, some are streets, some are rivers evn if I like the idea of getting a huge list of points, they should really be checked before importing them. I mean the coastline is already mapped for example. and the points there are very irritating. cu assetburned ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk

Upload is now complete. If there is a better method, then the only thing to do is to revert the changeset 3632884 : http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/changeset/3632884 Frédéric ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk

(The boundaries do not re-use the existing coastline but instead duplicate it in a rough form; where tho administrative areas meet, ways are not re-used either but duplicated.) Usually, while we apply the rule better crappy data than no data at all for anything surveyed by humans, we are more strict with imports, and we ask people to either do it right or leave it for someone who can. But of course this is an exceptional situation in that many people seem to be using the map data *now* rather than some time later when we had the time to polish it, so it was probably good to import the data, buggy as it is.

I agree. If you can provide a better import, why not just do it (may take some time of course) and revert the old import then?
