Re: [Talk-GB] NaPTAN (stop) import

2014-07-31 Thread Will Phillips
I have recently resurveyed all the bus stops in the centre of Nottingham (NG1 area) and quite a few changes have occurred since the NaPTAN import: most often changes to stop names but some more complicated changes to stop layouts too. I think the quality of the NaPTAN data must vary quite a lo

Probably not a convenient area for you, but I added bus stops in the Glasgow area from NAPTAN data a few years back, manually merging in with existing data and surveying those where it wasn't clear (and flagging a few cases that I didn't get a chance to survey). However it took quite a bit longer t

Over the last few months user 'country_wide' has been systematically adding branches of estate agents as well as adding data to already mapped ones. Following recent communication I have confirmed that this is an official account for Countrywide PLC who own these branches. I have been mildly c

Stuart, If you would like to start in Swanley, that would be fine with me. I don't know about my neighbouring mappers, but I certainly use tools to check what edits are taking place in areas I have an interest. I strongly suggest you keep the area small, and use my area as a guinea pig, perha

Hi, I would not wish to see a mass import in my area, but I could see some merit in comparing data 'line by line'. I can remember that in the early days (2009?) there were bus stops on the data at the time that NaPTAN was imported. Some were sensibly merged, but some were deleted before the v

Likewise for Birmingham (and probably most of the west mids). Stop positions in NaPTAN were as much as 200m off and we still continue to reposition as an when we map out an area. This is an example of where NaPTAN is better updating its data from OSM rather than the other way around. Cheers

The NaPTAN data was imported for Hull and East Yorkshire at my request. I quickly realised that the data was of variable quality and resurveyed the ~1300 bus stops in Hull. Having corrected a large percentage of the stops, I informed the Hull council team, at their request, who then ignored me.

Hi, This is a spin off from the recent thread about imports, because I wanted to specifically talk about NaPTAN imports. Having briefly scanned the various wiki pages, I get the impression that the NaPTAN data was imported, once, in 2009. What I can't see, or haven't found, is any discussion a
