Re: [Talk-ca] Data import
I'm not sure about a tutorial, but there is a nice wiki page on it here: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import/Shapefile I use the Open Data plugin for JOSM ( http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/JOSM/Plugins/OpenData) when I import shapefiles. Imports are mostly frowned upon in the community, so make sure to read the wiki carefully and be ready to defend your edits.

Re: [Talk-ca] Data import
Thanks Jim, I have read a bit about JOSM and the plugins. I do agree that imports should be used sparingly. That said there is a lot of open data being produced by various groups that would help the map Iain On Jun 23, 2015, at 8:49 AM, Jim McAndrew j...@loc8.us wrote: I'm not sure about a tutorial, but there is a nice wiki page on it here: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import/Shapefile I use the Open Data plugin for JOSM (http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/JOSM/Plugins/OpenData) when I import shapefiles.

Re: [Talk-ca] Data import
Good point - there is lots of good, free data being compiled out there that could make excellent additions to the map. But importing is a very complex business - especially in any area where other survey and contributor data already exists. Extreme caution should be taken to ensure that imported data does not replace or destroy their hard work. Survey the current data in the area slated for having new data imported and ensure that there are no conflicts (likely that there might be some conflict with CANVEC in any area, but that should be fine). I suggest contacting one of the OSM contributors that have imported large amounts of data before to get the 411 on possible problems and such.

Re: [Talk-ca] Data Import in Austria
Oops, i pressed a 'send' to fast :) (directed to talk-ca list) anyway, i guess that once the full import is done with all features added, it should spark some major interest in the project. (so less need to be concerned about updates) I like the idea of converting the new data to osm format, this way yes the team working on the area really would need to work together so to avoid duplicate work. By using that (to-be-imported-osm-file) we can do selective extracts. Although our 'mapping-army' is small; it just means that it will take more time. (3.3 people per square km) I'm ok with Nova Scotia, yukon alberta to start. And if we take or time; (and bug the other provinces), by the time we got those 3 fully merged, the other provinces could be ready. Fyi -we do have Scouts canada who (probably-maybe) would be able to help once we got the system roling. :) I do think that were all clear on; not to import anything from CanVec that is already in GeoBase make it clear when doing the chart. :) I think were also clear that we can make the import process easy so that any one working on the area can figure it out (showing a step by step instruction page) thats all i got 4 now, happy holidays Sam Vekemans Across Canada Trails On 12/21/08, Sam Vekemans acrosscanadatra...@gmail.com wrote: Thanks :-) and happy holidays.

Re: [Talk-ca] Data Import in Austria
anyway, i guess that once the full import is done with all features added, it should spark some major interest in the project. (so less need to be concerned about updates) so there is another big difference: our donator will stop producing its own geodata and will attend OSM, that means, we will not have any updates in future CU Wolfgang ___ Talk-ca mailing list Talk-ca@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ca
