[OSM-talk] Addressing Question

Hi everyone, I'm looking at some donated street centerline data that has addressing data in the form of "Right/Left From Addr" and "Right/Left To Addr" on each street centerline. Is there an accepted way of applying these tags to the road ways? It doesn't really make very much sense to create and

Re: [OSM-talk] shp-to-osm 0.7

A new version of shp-to-osm 0.7 has been released to fix a memory problem when using huge shapefiles. If you're using shp-to-osm to read shapefiles greater than a few megabytes, you will want to use this new version. Get it at the URL below. On Tue, Nov 3, 2009 at 10:38 PM, Ian Dees wrote:

Re: [OSM-talk] shp-to-osm 0.7

I cut a new version (0.7.1) that fixed a few bugs I introduced when adding features and reverted to putting tags on the relation. Pick it up in the same spot. On Tue, Nov 3, 2009 at 10:38 PM, Ian Dees wrote: > I just uploaded shp-to-osm 0.7, a Java tool to convert shapefiles to OSM >

Re: [OSM-talk] shp-to-osm 0.7

This actually sounds relatively easy to do... I will look into it before releasing the new version that puts tags back on relations. Anyone else have relatively simple feature requests for shp-to-osm. I will have a little bit of time today. On Wed, Nov 4, 2009 at 9:00 AM, Serge Wroclawski wrote:

[OSM-talk] shp-to-osm 0.7

I just uploaded shp-to-osm 0.7, a Java tool to convert shapefiles to OSM format. This version adds two important features: - "glomming": the ability to connect ways based on a key/value pair - tags for multipolygon relations have been moved from the relation to the outer ways (fixing a bug with th

[OSM-talk] Turn Restrictions Editor

Has anyone attempted to write a turn restriction editor? I suppose it would be best suited as a JOSM plugin, but I suppose it would also work as a web app or something via OAuth. It would be nice to show a GUI where intersecting ways are shown up close with an editor to describe the lanes, where e

Re: [OSM-talk] importing shapefile data to OSM

For now, there are two options. One us a python script written by chris schmidt. The other is a java app written by me. The python one is called shp2osm. It requires a bit of programming knowhow and some dependency magic, but it allows you to convert a little more programmatically. The java
