Hi Sailor Jerry - Love your rum!
If you haven't seen this page, it should contain most of Greg's questions: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import/Guidelines If it doesn't contain some of Greg's questions, please add 'em in. Also - there's a template for an import web page at: If you cut and paste the wiki text from this to your page & fill it out, you should also have covered plenty of these bases. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import/Plan_Outline Again, if it doesn't cover some of Greg's points, please fix it so it does. Thanks!
