If you follow the purist, you would never do any armchair mapping at all. Even tracing from aerial imagery should only be done after visiting the area. Some will even avoid data from websites of shops. (-- I do not belong to that group --)
More people say only use aerial imagery + surveyed data and perhaps Mapillary. But when you take a file from somewhere, convert it and drop the data into OSM, that's an import. And for small things like AEDs you won't be able to see whether they are correctly positioned on aerial imagery. Someone did something similar last year by placing bicycle repair stands (on a wolrd-wide basis). Lot's of discussion. But like I said, you might get away with it. regards m On Thu, Jun 2, 2016 at 8:43 PM, Glenn Plas <gl...@byte-consult.be> wrote: > On 02-06-16 19:25, Marc Gemis wrote: >> On Wed, Jun 1, 2016 at 3:48 PM, Glenn Plas <gl...@byte-consult.be> wrote: >>> If somebody believes we should walk the 'import data scenario case' >>> instead, it will probably take much much longer to complete it.
