Re: [Talk-transit] NaPTAN import starts - Birmingham trial area first
Hi. I'm exited to see how this works out. Beeing curious, I just zoomed in into Birmingham and noticed two things: 1) Imported stops seem to be close to the already mapped ones but off by some meters 2) Some Streets seem to consist entirely of bus_stops. (http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=52.479838&lon=-1.896227&zoom=18&layers=B000FTF) Is this real??

[Talk-transit] NaPTAN import starts - Birmingham trial area first
Thanks to the good folks at UK Department for Transport and Traveline, the NaPTAN data import (principally of Bus stops) has started. Birmingham is being used as an initial trial to check out any issues before the main bulk of the upload takes place. Thanks go to Thomas Wood (Edgemaster) for converting the data to OSM format and running the upload (currently underway as I write this) of just over 4332 nodes. Thanks also go of course to everyone behind the scenes who have worked to make this all possible. For this import the Birmingham mappers have decided to import the nodes without the highway=bus_stop tag. Birmingham already has a lot of bus stops mapped and by doing it this way the mappers can check and combine data with existing stops during on the ground survey. More details on the NaPTAN data and the import process can be found via the wiki page at: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Naptan Cheers Andy ___ Talk-transit mailing list Talk-transit@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-transit
