[Talk-GB] Electric Car Charging Points
I wonder if the OSM community has tagged electric car charging points in London and around the country? I have added a link showing some charging points that have been made available in London and are linked to a Google Mash-up. Perhaps this should be inspiration to get these POIs added?

[Talk-GB] Electric car charging points
Hi All, Some time ago I came across "National Charge Point Registry", which can be found here: data.gov.uk data.gov.uk I wonder if we could import that data into OSM? I'm sure that it would be useful to the greater community and general public. Cheers, dzidek23 PS. I have no idea how to do a mass import to OSM and I would not like to experiment with such big dataset... ___ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
Re: [Talk-GB] Electric Car Charging Points
I've mapped one that I saw, I just can't remember where it was to tell you how I tagged it. It doesn't seem to be on the Google map you link to, because it was a single charging point and I checked all of them.

I haven't got a full comparison tool working yet, but you can get an idea of how the NCR data compares to what we currently have in OSM at https://osm.mathmos.net/chargepoint/progress/ (click on one of the postal areas on the map to see that data for it). It appears that the NCR data is not all that complete, and I'm also not sure the locations are accurate enough for a direct import. Given other micro-mapped features near charging points, we'd want to get the locations relative to them correct. There are also charge-point locations in the NCR that are 10's of meters away from where they actually are on the ground. (Some examples at https://osm.mathmos.net/chargepoint/progress/NR/#15/52.6253/1.2994 . ) There is certainly scope for using the data to improve coverage and detail in OSM though.

I see what you mean about completeness of the data. I checked the CO postcode area which seems to have 5 charge points mapped in OSM and 5 charge points in the NCR data, and neither set seem to overlap. I'm aware there is a charge point at Harwich International (I remember it being reported as the first one in the area when they installed it) but the security barrier at the port entrance always puts me off walking down there to find it (I should probably go by bus or train, both of which stop near it).
