Hi,
- I agree with Serge, in that you should try to keep it as three
separate projects. Lakes/Ponds are the easiest to start with.
- The minimum tags would be natural=water, water=* tags, and the name
tag. You will need a plan for the name tag.
- You should try to automate as much as possible. However, its
probably not possible to automate 100% of it. You can certainly
automate much of the prep work. I have been fiddling with some scripts
for lakes/ponds in MA, I might be able to help.
Thanks
Jason.
After you pointed out the water=* tag I discovered the wiki page
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Water_details
I hadn't realized that was out there. I don't recall even seeing the
water=* tag in use in FL. Its a great idea.
I haven't thought much about the name tag, but will look into that
further. Many of the water bodies to be imported do not have a name.
Many of the ones with a name are present, but it does vary depending on
the area and activity of mappers.
Is it preferred to bring in the data as OSM XML files. Or is it OK to
use the SHP import capability of JOSM as long as the data has been
properly reprojected? In my limited experience, it seems like opening up
a SHP in JOSM works pretty well.
Thanks,
Brian
