Hi there freedom lovers, I've dabbled with a few little tram projects over the last couple of years, so I'm interested in the state of the tram information for Melbourne.
I've noticed that the stops in OSM are a little inconsistent and incomplete, so I'd like to get them fixed. Anyone on this list from Melbourne and catching trams, have probably heard of 'Tram Tracker'. It's a web-services based system for predicting the arrival of a tram at a particular stop. I've managed write some little python scripts to compile a little database of all the stops, with info like lat, lng, stop number, routes stopping at each stop, and a few other little bits. So, my questions here are: 1. What sort of agreement do I need from Yarra Trams before this information can be uploaded into OSM? What have others done in the past? What can you do if they agree one day, then change their mind? 2. Is there a particular format/method for uploading this information? I guess I would need to manually remove the existing stops first before pushing the new data in. cheers, Andy _______________________________________________ Talk-au mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
