Hi Dave, can you provide SC (Santa Clara County) California? btw any ideas how the break it into smaller pieces? I definitely don't want to upload a whole county at once and deal with the big mess afterwards. As I understand it address ways don't connect to other ways so it shouldn't be fairly easy to do and allow more people to fix data before upload.
Fully agree as many as possible should verify and comment on improvements BEFORE final conversion and upload. Also no upload for areas with existing address data or selective merging only. respecting the existing work is important to motivate the community. -- Apo On 13 Nov 2009, at 15:57 , Dave Hansen wrote: > So, just like the original TIGER import, I'm now grossly stealing > someone else's code: > > http://svn.openstreetmap.org/applications/utils/import/tiger2osm/shape_to_osm-Tiger.py > > and I now have made some .osm files with Karlruhe Scheme addressing > ways.
