This week I was clearing through my list of GPX files that I had recorded over the past 18 months.
Amongst them was a zipped folder of POIs I received about a year or so ago. The data is free from copyright and is associated with a book about camping. It took some work as they were .wpt files, which had to be reformatted, converted to GPX and then to OSM/XML format. Needless to say they're all uploaded. However, I have noticed there were a few 'errors' in the data. For example, rest stops were listed as campgrounds, some co-ords are slightly out. There has also been a few incidences of duplication. Overall though, I believe it's added to the map, even if there is some post-upload quality control now needed. Therefore, if in your mapping adventures you notice that one of these is not correct, please adjust it as you see necessary. If any one else has a copyright free wpt files that they would like to upload, I'm happy to assist. BTW - There are sets of speed and redlight cameras POI files around. Have they been uploaded yet?
