Hi, I tried downloading shapefiles from the website, and all I was getting was a message that the file was empty and there might not be any data. The map data certainly looks very detailed, so it would be awesome if we could get this imported.
> By a donation we are able distribute data to osm, google and yahoo. Does that mean we need to make a donation in order to receive the data? I'm confused. If not, you need to confirm that licensing is all ok. If it's going to be a case of tracing the available imagery through WMS then a josm plugin similar to the cadastre one is what is needed. In which case talking to the people behind that would be a good idea. Otherwise, I can handle shapefile imports (just about), but it needs coordinating properly as there is rather a lot to import. I'd suggest starting a page on the wiki to discuss how the import is to happen, and if possible get all the data out of the arctic so that it is available for fast download by OSM users. Looking at itoworld for Nuuk there are a couple of people who have been mapping the area recently, so there certainly are active mappers in the country. -- Alice _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
