By the way, this import is quite bad. It does have a lot of attributes, but the basics are disappointing: position can be a couple kilometers from the actual location and ALL CAPS NAMES are irritating. Approximate positions are not always unacceptable, especially with a "fixme=approximate position" but they are not recorded as such and they are often so far from actual locations that no one bothers sorting them out. Opendatamali acknowledged my remarks (https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/25474220) but took no action. As for the ALL CAPS NAMES, opendatamali claimed three years ago (https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/25474402) that the ministry of education told them on the phone they are standard for information exchange - please, that is the ministry of education's problem not Openstreetmap's... After years of being irritated, I'm horribly tempted to convert them all to lowercase with uppercase first letters. _______________________________________________ HOT mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/hot
