(Geo)JSON and OSM have different data models, so you can't just do a straight "upload". You need to convert the JSON data to the OSM data model. Additionally, OSM doesn't really have "layers", instead all data is on top of each other, and most importantly, connected together where appropriate. You should check your sidewalk data connects to the existing OSM roads at the right place. Those are the kind of things you need code/conversions for. > Overall, considering I could probably map these in a few days > directly into OSM No-one's stopping you doing that! :) We can always use more mappers. _______________________________________________ Imports-us mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/imports-us
