That's the problem, hinting at an idea is not an accurate statement.

Let's recap, I've seen no substantiation for the
statement that thousands of hours of work will be lost. I've seen
nothing from any one else who has done any GPS traces in Ottawa. I've
seen two different places where the existing OSM map is 100 meters out
from a GPS measurement.
Basically the

There seems to be no way of knowing whether a road has been mapped by
GPS trace or sketched in by hand.
If I understand the process correctly, to do an import from Geobase you
would need to use a script

Any map can be unreliable, and often
A quick look at the number of mappers that have contributed to Ottawa there
are a lot of individuals and that excludes the GeoBase import. At least
some do not live in the Ottawa area, but that also does not preclude their
visiting and adding to the map, and I am not sure the tools that they used
My initial mail seems to have been truncated and hopefully this will be
better

Super. You have groups of interested people, motivated and

Thank you some meaningful numbers on mappers at
least which was not immediately apparent. So it looks as if we'll
just have to wait until the mess gets straighten out.
I found two on OSM, one wasn't active and the other, Marc Sensei,
didn't respond. My premise of just dropping in

Do you have any idea what happens if we ALL take that attitude? There
is no them in OSM, it's an us type community.

When you use people whose first interest isn't mapping in large
numbers you need to keep it simple. I've used little old ladies in
electric wheel chairs before now to take photographs of specific
locations on the other side of the Atlantic. Worked fine but they do
get confused easily so if
Wholesale deletion of the work of many volunteers without their
consent seems even less likely to generate a positive outcome. I
would consider that wholesale deletion to be vandalism.
I strongly agree. Manually edited data should never be removed and
replaced automatically with a data
In my hometown of Chilliwack, there's a new overpass/section of road opening
tomorrow. It's been open to pedestrians for the past week, so I've already
collected gps tracks of it, and added as construction. Tonight I went to
remove the construction tag, and see that vreimer messed up the geometry
Thanks Adam,
As we disussed on chat. I'll contact that user. (no need for others too)
