Re: [Talk-in] Railway station GPS co-ordinates
Hi, My email with an attachment has not been approved because of the large size. I have uploaded it to this location https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tnshibu/osm_data_extract/master/data/india_railway_station_list.txt You can find the GPS co-ordinates of railways stations in India. The “ref” refers to the Indian railway station code, I think. The data extracted is for nodes which have the tags with key=”railway” and value=”station”. The extracted data is pipe(‘|’) delimited. If anyone requires similar data for other tags, let me know, I will try to extract them and give you. Hope someone finds this useful. Sutripta, All data entered in OSM is ground validated I would assume. Because it is entered individually by contributors, my assumption is that a person familiar with the place is the one who is entering the data to OSM.
