Cool,You made a good point. re: Using geobase postGarmin format data to OSM.
Because with the Garmin Format, we are limited to the set number of defined map feature types to choose from. So all the GeoBase data, needs to fit into one of the Garmin Categories. .. and in many cases, thats hard to define when there isnt one. Unlike sending the data direct from GeoBase to OSM, where we can choose to tag it what we like, and be happy to know that Garmin does already conform to OSM standards. .. .. And ya, the suggestion to make it OpenSource is much more practical. re: discussion of wipe & replace I think Richard Weait & Richard Degelder made some pretty good arguments. Fortunately, bad ideas DO result in further explanation of good idea's and getting another step closer to the goal. (although frustrating... it's still another step forward) :) re: wiki GeoBase Import Talk page. Now it looks like there's some tidying up todo on the wiki page, to remove those irrelevant points ... and explain why they were removed, so for future import discussions people have something better to work with.
