Hello everyone. The automatic import of theTMC location-codes for roads is done. The script worked very well and did LOTS of work but of cause there are quite a number of roads left that need to be identified and tagged by a human if we want to get traffic announcements for them for free. http://

I`m currently running the import of the TMC location-codes for roads. It will probably require all night to run. I don´t want to put too much stress on the Xapi so it´s doing one search at a time using only one server at a time, backing of for 30 seconds for at most 3 times when it receives a code

Ok, the few areas wich could be imported automatically have been imported. The rest will have to go by hand because most of them are simply missing in OSM. Unless someone finds a clever algorithm to determine the extend of a village and estimate borders for it. I´ll continue working on importing t

My script for tagging a few of the areas automatically is done. I had it run on only one wiki-page this time: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/TMC/TMC_Import_Germany/Areas/42000_to_42100 It found a few of the cities. No area it tagged seems to have been wrong, so it seems to be safe due to all

Hello. I think I have all the bugs out of the Java-program that will automate a lot of the importing of roads. (roads in TMC are route-relations in OSM. OSM-ways are more like the road-segments in TMC-codes) As a byproduct I now also have a program that can match a small number of the left over a
