If I understand the process correctly, to do an import from Geobase you would need to use a script (http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Geobase2osm) to convert the files from Geobase to .osm files. If you were to select a section of the city, do the geobase2osm conversion, then open the existing osm data in JOSM as one layer and the Geobase osm file as a second layer, you should be able to get some ideas about which parts of the map need attention. I suspect that this might not be much more work than a wholesale delete+import anyway. Remember that if you delete and replace a large area, you will most likely need to do a bunch of fixing at the borders of that area. _______________________________________________ Talk-ca mailing list Talk-ca@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ca
