Re: [OSM-dev] Workflow for bulk upload of GPX files

Hi Joost, Thanks for your help. I'm exploring HOTOSM's tasking-manager for this task. Here also, we get to break down our task into smaller tasks and can be better tracked. Also, I'm trying to get in touch with other mappers to get some help here. Is there anybody you know of who has prior

You might have a decent shot of getting volunteers to map this if you create a Maproulette challenge. I imagine the roads are sparse, and spread out of a larger area. So turn them into individual objects, which can be mapped in little time. For example, from a few dozen to a few kilometer long

Hi Marc, Sorry for the late reply but I meant that are there any mappers whom I can hire to get the mapping done as there are thousand of roads to be mapped? On Mon, May 20, 2019 at 10:40 PM marc marc wrote: > Le 20.05.19 à 19:03, Ajay Singh1 a écrit : > > I can just upload and someone else

Hi Joseph, Thanks for the detailed information. I'll try these options. For leveraging the tasking-manager, I was assuming that I'll need a team of mappers who will manually create the ways by looking at the trace I've uploaded. Is there any alternative way? e.g. I can just upload and someone

if you want to add yourself all these missing ways in osm, a simpler workflow : give a part to each one load the gpx trace with the editor of your choice simplify and connect it to the concerned ways, add tags upload the new ways into osm. some will say you may send the trace too. once finished,

Hi Joseph, Thanks for your response. I've extensively cleaned the GPX data and I'm marking only those roads as 'missing' ones where I'm getting trace more than a threshold number of times, say 5 times. Few questions - 1. Should I use something like https://github.com/hotosm/tasking-manager to

Ajay, It's great that you are adding more GPS traces for mappers to use. These are really helpful for checking the offset of aerial imagery and finding roads and paths to map. I think you first 2 steps look fine. As far as tags for GPS traces, you can look at some other traces in your area to
