Greetings all, I'm happy to announce that the initial import of 1.9M New Zealand addresses from LINZ to OSM is complete[1] (about 40K addresses were already present)
Thanks to Rob Alley linz_robA (825,470 nodes) for his persistence! Also thanks to aaron_linz, gaddman_linz, Ironman324 for their contributions. This doesn't mean we have absolutely 100% coverage or 100% accuracy. For instance, where the LINZ data had many addresses at a single point, these were often deleted from the import i.e. left for a later update when a way of dealing with them is determined. The existing addressed objects in OSM were not checked in detail for consistency with the LINZ data. A different approach will be required for maintenance vs this initial import. I'm looking at Norway[2] as a possible model. -- Eliot [1] https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/LINZ/Address_Import [2] https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Addresses#Norway _______________________________________________ Imports mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/imports
