As the other pointed out, the import has to be done /will be done carefully. Glenn try it in a mostly empty area and of course it goes much faster. In an area with buildings, we will keep all existing information. The replace geometry functionality in JOSM + utilsplugin2 is your friend.
The quality of the data after the import will depend on the person that does the import. I noticed, e.g. that many peoples do not have nice corners. So I did a "q" on them. Maybe other will "forget" that step. I also removed several additional nodes. I prefer to go a bit slower, but deliver a nicer result. Others might import more and clean up less. We see the same with the import of the addresses so far. Some just draw a bunch of rectangles for the houses, regardless of the actual shape. It all depends on your goals. Depending on the town, you might notice that the data can be a bit of of date or sometimes it can be drawn a bit clumsy. It's up to the importer to be alert and fix it IMHO. I hope we can organize a meetup or a hangout to explain the tools and the tips and tricks to some people later on. regards m On Sun, Jan 24, 2016 at 5:48 PM, Ruben Maes <ru...@janmaes.com> wrote: > Thursday 21 January 2016 05:35:11, Marc Gemis: >> At this moment someone is working on converting the GRB data into something >> that can be "easily" imported. >> (...) > > Great that we'll have a more or less complete map of the buildings in > Flanders. > > I know some places where OSM already has much better building information > than Agiv, mapped with love and local knowledge.
