First of all, when I say import I mean a manual import: reprojection of OS shapefiles, conversion to OSM data and careful processing in JOSM before uploading.
I'd really like to get all the water features from OS into OSM. It's very useful data and also makes maps prettier. It's quite a laborious task, though, as the data requires manual creation of multipolygons and of course merging with any water features we already have. I have already done a small amount here: http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=52.6006&lon=1.6362&zoom=13&layers=M Although I have not joined together all gaps, just some gaps where a way crosses it and it is obviously a conduit. Now I have split the Vectormap square TG into smaller chunks which I plan to process one by one and upload. The amount of data in just this square is quite large, but it's still probably less than half of Norfolk. Have any large scale imports from this dataset already been done? Do people think this is a good idea? Any suggestions regarding the process? Happy mapping, Borbus. _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
