The duplicates from the BP import was intended not an accident, I intentionally didn't remove any existing data so that the data could be merged with existing information. > If youve been on-the-ground and surveyed the data for the tram stops and > simply wished to bulk upload verified data, that would be one thing, but > if you plan on removing possibly surveyed data, just for the sake of > importing a government supplied GIS list, I think the consequences > should be understood that you could be removing accurate data to replace > it with less-accurate data, unless you plan on reviewing/surveying every > node yourself? I agree, data should never be removed for the purposes of importing new data, there possibly a small amount of harm with duplicate data if people rely on it to be accurate, but in that case hopefully things will get worked out and merge the data. ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au

Im worried about a technique like that. You plan to remove all existing stops (whether survey'd or nearmapped or whatever) to be replaced by a mass data set. Just ask around how well that worked for the BP import and how many nodes ended up doubled up, or in the wrong location? If youve been on-the-ground and surveyed the data for the tram stops and simply wished to bulk upload verified data, that would be one thing, but if you plan on removing possibly surveyed data, just for the sake of importing a government supplied GIS list, I think the consequences should be understood that you could be removing accurate data to replace it with less-accurate data, unless you plan on reviewing/surveying every node yourself?

Re: [talk-au] re Coastline rendering in Garmins Mapsource
I sorted the maps today - stoopid downloads not working, and I obviously can't write a decent batch script to save my life Would have fixed it earlier, but not at work to do so - Australia Day for me generally results in a hangover, as it's also my birthday Matt John Kitchener wrote: > Matt wrote: > > Coastlines (and the "inverse islands" issues) have been ongoing for ages for > the Mkgmap produced Garmin files.

Couldn't remember how far it was on the way in, got out the freerunner, started navit, and found that i had a few stops to go, no need to panic. :-) ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
