But let's assume that your data is accurate to +/-16 feet and let's assume that existing OSM tree data is accurate to +/- 33 feet (10 meters) (just an example, might be better in US). You should download existing OSM tree data, buffer by 49 feet (the math is a little more involved, but this should be a safe number to use), and delete any of your data that falls within the resulting polygon before uploading. > >>>
