You are proposing to make it available with your proposed workflow,
where someone can download it.
- if you advise the mappers to always run line simplifications on the
ways first it would be better to do this on the whole data set in
advance, this would avoid unnecessary work for the mappers.
Running the Simplify Way plugin for each task takes just seconds, when
each task can take an average of one hour. It's true that running the
Simplify way for the whole data would avoid this step for mappers, and I
obviously thought about it, but it seemed to freeze my JOSM when
applying the plugin to too many segments at the same time. I will check
if I can find a command line script that applies the algorithm and that
it works fine for all segments altogether.
Experience has shown that users will inconsistently simplify the data.
The best time to simplify is generally *before* converting to OSM
format, if using a format that supports topology.
If you must simplify a large number of ways in JOSM, first try giving it
more memory and launching with a console, and giving it tens of minutes
to complete. If that's still too much, only simplify a portion at a
time. Don't forget to adjust the simplify-way.max-error advanced
preference to be suitable for the data quality.
