I thought so. & because it gets turned into an .osm file, it can be converted to a .shp file. (using ...?)
The .osm file can then be split using 'tile splitter'. & shp files converted to a 'mapserver tile', which becomes available as a WMS layer. As the information can then be used in conjuction with the .osm files. This ensures that; 1 - the community data is protected from 'bulk_implopping' 2 - that users are free to trace (when in busy areas) and 'drop-in' for those areas with no .osm activity. & slide features to line up, where needed. & use the raw gpx tracks also. & using OpenJUMP with autoMatch helps by comparing existing data with available data (both needs to be in SHP format to work) so the DIFF files can be made & used. Hopefully others can expand and clarify the above explainations :-) thanks, Sam On 3/15/10, Graeme Williams <[email protected]> wrote: > The NZOpenGPS (aka the LINZ import) data is in .mp format, with a > Pearl script to translate into OSM. > > Cheers, > > G > > On 3/16/10, Sam Vekemans <[email protected]> wrote: >> For some reason i thought it was in .mp format (polish format that >> GpsMapEdit can be used to open it up)? >> Sam >> >> >> On 3/15/10, Robert Coup <[email protected]> wrote: >>> On Tue, Mar 16, 2010 at 12:49 AM, Sam Vekemans >>> <[email protected] >>>> wrote: >>> >>>> Hi, is everyone on this list subscribed to the international imports >>>> discussion group [email protected] >>>> >>>> >>> Probably not.
