Thanks, ya your right :) The show went good (IMO) as the question is now more apparent.
For government/bulk imports -where we know that updates are available; how is it dealt with? The solution is this IMO: 1- take the latest OSM Data, as a file; the exact size area of the shape file to be imported. 2 - extract only the possable tags (if any) that are showing the same info as you want to have the new data shown as. 3 -convert the OSM to shape file 4 - make a backup of OSM file 5 -remove those same selected osm data OUT OF the osm database. 6 - using whatever postGIS program, look at both shape files, and see just how the 2 match up. 7 add osm tags the the whole thing. 8 use one of the bug finder tools to find duplicate data, and PERGE all the info together. 9 the result is a file that contains; new imported data with osm tags, untouched osm data (that no match was available), and perged data (osm & imported) 10 convert the file to OSM and upload to OSM. Please poke fun at the steps, :) cheers, Sam On 1/24/09, Thomas Wood <grand.edgemas...@gmail.com> wrote: > 2009/1/24 Sam Vekemans <acrosscanadatra...@gmail.com>: >> In light of France getting the OK for post codes; Canada might also, >> so there needs to be a way to accomidate it.
