[OSM-talk] Manual Point Entry
Is there some kind of command line application that would let me enter data into the database?. Let's say I have the GPS coordinates of 100 auto repair shops. Is there any command line way to enter these shops into the database?. Any pointers?. -- Esben Stien is b0ef@e s a http://www. s tn m irc://irc. b - i . e/%23contact sip:b0ef@ e e jid:b0ef@n n ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
Re: [OSM-talk] Manual Point Entry
Where have you got the GPS coordinates from (is the data agreeable to the OSM license)? What file format is the data in (does it have other data such as names of the repair shops)? You can use the api, but there are various tools to work with certain data. You also need to be careful about doing automated imports. What if some of the auto repair shops are already in OpenStreetMap? If you can tell us more about what you have, then it will help greatly in discussing the best solution. Such as if you have several hundred then it might make sense to implement a system like the bike shop locator tool. If it's 150 or so, then it might just be easier to do them semi-manually.

Re: [OSM-talk] Manual Point Entry
Create an xml file with an .osm extension. Open this file with JOSM and upload... The only problem with this approach is that you'd also have to check for double entries.

Hi, Esben Stien b...@esben-stien.name wrote: Is there some kind of command line application that would let me enter data into the database?. Not really. There are some import tools that go from shapefiles to OSM data or so, but usually you will have to upload the data with an OSM editor later. We don't generally like data imports and we are keen on people discussing their imports and talking to the community about them before they commence. Too many people seem to think that any data is good data and just stuff it into OSM! So it is a desirable effect that things are not so easy with importing!
