Hi there, I just managed to get the permission to import import the city government data into OSM. However, I'm not able to import it to JOSM successfully.
The data is on different shapefiles, that for greater convenience I mirrored on my webserver: http://nighto.net/rio.zip http://nighto.net/rio/ I found out that the easiest way to have an .osm file editable on JOSM would be using Iván's ogr2osm.py [1] and it worked out pretty well. However, the tracks are misaligned with the tracks I already have collected with GPS (which is aligned to the Yahoo! imagery, so they're not bad tracks). Please check this screenshot: http://img534.imageshack.us/img534/7035/capturadetelak.png In this example, i converted the "ciclovias.*" files (cycleways) to .osm, opened in JOSM and downloaded this area. The shapefile converted way is selected (red) and the OSM (captured with GPS) is in dark grey. Any ideas? I don't think that the government data is misaligned like that. Also, selecting all the ways on the converted osm layer on JOSM and drag over until they align with something that already exists could work out, but there's probably a better way to do it. I thought about creating a shell script to add/subtract the lat/lon numbers on all nodes, but maybe someone would come out with a magical conversion that would work out perfectly :) Thanks a lot!
