Not sure if you dropped decimal places or not, but some locations only has 2 decimal places which are only good to the nearest km > The data is all Queensland police stations, as listed on > http://www.police.qld.gov.au/station-locator/stationIndex.asp > There are also index pages to police shops and neighbourhood beats, > but I have ignored these.

That just means: attributation=Qld Police > 1) What format to transform it to - OSM? with what tags? how? .osm file format makes it easy to import because you just load it into JOSM and then tell JOSM to upload all points at once. > 2) Would be great to generate a fixme tag generated HTML page, > (similar to the the BP one) for people to easily jump to PotLatch and > check/review This is fairly trivial to do. > 3) de-duplication if station already there (merging etc?)
