Re: [OSM-talk] Help to import Rio de Janeiro city data to OSM - misaligned shapefiles
Hi, in the end, after searching for a couple of hours, I managed to split a little part of the 400MB file and open it on JOSM to take a look: $ java -Xmx1048m -cp "osmosis-0.35/osmosis.jar:osmosis-0.35/lib/default/*" org.openstreetmap.osmosis.core.Osmosis --read-xml-0.5 enableDateParsing=no file=Quadras.osm --migrate --bounding-box top=-22.92297 left=-43.18026 bottom=-22.92849 right=-43.17241 completeWays=yes completeRelations=yes --write-xml file=teste-catete.osm As expected, it's a file with the blocks ("quadras") structure. How do you think it could be imported into OSM, if useful at all? I mean, we map roads and the buildings that are on the blocks, but not the blocks itself. Just to exemplify, a place near of where I live: http://osm.org/go/OVc0m5mwC-- And what the shapefile provided me: http://img175.imageshack.us/img175/2793/capturadetelajavaopenst.png Perhaps if I manually import those polygons to OSM with some landuse=residential|comercial tag and draw roads between them manually?

Re: [OSM-talk] Help to import Rio de Janeiro city data to OSM - misaligned shapefiles
And if you really going to do this complicated, than add that the earth really is a liquid ball with hard shell pieces, some seismic events can make the earth wobble which might result in these drifts to accelerate or delay a few years each, sometimes in different directions, making these predictable movements somewhat unpredictable. But all of this is really drifting off topic from the original questions, how to solve the datum differences in importing data sources 2010/5/14 John Smith : > 2010/5/15 Iván Sánchez Ortega : >> Problem is, the center of mass moves along with the continental drift.

Yes I know, but I was outlining the basic reason why most co-ords on most plates shifted 50-200m (or more) when governments started shifting to mass centric models. Also, even though most countries shifted to mass centric based systems, they still using plate fixed models that drift from the GPS system, in the case of DGA94, by about 7cm NNE on average per year, but the plate isn't moving that much, since GPS uses the equator and the 0 degree longitude as fixed reference points which also move, although different parts of different plates move at different speeds and in different directions.

Maybe a full understanding, but the basic understanding is this, originally governments used the centre of the earth as the basis, although not always some mines in Australia used the direction of the vein of ore as north/south even if it ran east/west.

Here in Spain, data is shifted 60 to 150 meters when reprojecting from "European Datum 1950" (A.K.A. ED50). Your data is based on the 1969 South American ellipsoid, so I'd expect a similar shift. > Any ideas? I don't think that the government data is misaligned like > that. You're wrong: it is.

Instead of letting ogr2osm guess the projection, you can specify all of its parameters, including a manual shift on the x, y and z axis. I do suggest you get in touch with some local expert in geodesy. They will probably have faced this problem before (SAD69 -> WGS84), and will tell you the best course of action (a fixed shift, a grid shift based on a nadgrids file, etc). BTW, try "ogr2osm -e 29183" - or ask someone about reprojecting from EPSG:29183 to EPSG:4326. 29183 means SAD69 in UTM 23S, 4326 means WGS84 in lat-lon.

[OSM-talk] Help to import Rio de Janeiro city data to OSM - misaligned shapefiles
Hi there, I just managed to get the permission to import import the city government data into OSM. However, I'm not able to import it to JOSM successfully. The data is on different shapefiles, that for greater convenience I mirrored on my webserver: http://nighto.net/rio.zip http://nighto.net/rio/ I found out that the easiest way to have an .osm file editable on JOSM would be using Iván's ogr2osm.py [1] and it worked out pretty well. However, the tracks are misaligned with the tracks I already have collected with GPS (which is aligned to the Yahoo! imagery, so they're not bad tracks). Please check this screenshot: http://img534.imageshack.us/img534/7035/capturadetelak.png In this example, i converted the "ciclovias.*" files (cycleways) to .osm, opened in JOSM and downloaded this area. The shapefile converted way is selected (red) and the OSM (captured with GPS) is in dark grey. Any ideas? I don't think that the government data is misaligned like that. Also, selecting all the ways on the converted osm layer on JOSM and drag over until they align with something that already exists could work out, but there's probably a better way to do it. I thought about creating a shell script to add/subtract the lat/lon numbers on all nodes, but maybe someone would come out with a magical conversion that would work out perfectly :) Thanks a lot!
