have a look at this page first: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import/Guidelines it covers some guidelines for what to do. i'd recommend going through them, and posting back here with how you've got on with each stage. in general though: we have found with the current import in NZ, that it is best to proceed with extreme caution, and involve all around you who may be affected, taking account of everything they say -- robin http://fu.ac.nz - Auckland's Free University _______________________________________________ Talk-ca mailing list Talk-ca@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ca
