Hi Y'all,
First, I'm sorry that I didn't jump into this thread earlier. I am the
graphics lead on X-Plane, and for our latest version we switched from
TIGER+VMAP0+swbd to OSM for our vector water body and road data. In the
case of the US, this is perceived as a step backward by our users
Hi everybody,
as an active mapper focused on the topology consistence of the map, I don't
think that any automatic re-import would make any good. The initial bulk
imports left the map in the terrible state and I can't even imagine how
badly it would be damaged if all the NHD data is re-imported.
This is only a partial reply - I should have more detail this afternoon when
I have more time.

This is actually a plus for me - handling all of NHD without command line
scripts would be difficult. There's a *lot* of data.
Right - for anyone
In June, user Bsupnik converted the entire NHD dataset into OSM
format. The files are available at
http://bsupnik.dev.openstreetmap.org/NHD. He mentioned that he was
working on creating better quality files. The files that he created
look good. They are missing the names though. It looks like they

I saw bsupnik's wiki page, http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:Bsupnik, on
importing of NHD into OSM. I'm working on National Parks in Washington
State. After spending countless hours tracing in streams and rivers into
OSM, I've finally decided that importing makes more sense. I'm wondering
Past NHD imports have made vast multipolygons which can be difficult to
interpret without a view of the whole thing. This made particular problems
for tiles@home/osmarender, which tried to render the multipolygons without
loading their out-of-area members, leading to water-land inversion in a lot

I agree that it is a good idea to import NHD. It is an asset when
doing surveys and updates: you can review it for any

I would like to have every stream in the U.S. available as a .osm file.
So, say, I am running along some road or railroad, and I see a stream
