Before uploading them to OSM, I'd probably test them out on Google Maps first as a sanity check. If that seems ok, I'd probably start doing routes one by one, starting with the ones with little or no stop nodes. > If youve been on-the-ground and surveyed the data for the tram stops and > simply wished to bulk upload verified data, that would be one thing, but > if you plan on removing possibly surveyed data, just for the sake of > importing a government supplied GIS list, I think the consequences > should be understood that you could be removing accurate data to replace > it with less-accurate data, unless you plan on reviewing/surveying every > node yourself? I would be reviewing all the myself. With these stops, it's not that hard. They're generally at intersections of the road, so they're easy to identify. cheers, Andy _______________________________________________ Talk-au mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
