A large waterbody (outer) would probably be the cause of the failure. So in order to keep it that the 'inner' shapes to get reversed. What i did was manually select a portion of it, and copy it onto a new layer, and delete, then copy another portion onto a new layer and delete etc. .. so i'm left with 4 or so layers each with a portion of the data, then upload one piece at a time. I know it's a pain, thats why im working on the script so that the java program is easy for many others to run and work on a section. So it's only when your out there mapping other things and you want to add in the rivers/water areas, then you can copy it over. I'm doing that more the Greater Victoria area, and it seems to be slow, but fine. BTW, im also logged in as 'geobase:Acrosscanadatrails' when im importing the stuff, rather than my regular login. That way, if we later find out there was something major wrong, and all my edits need to be removed.. it's only with that login. not my personal one. You might want todo the same. :) (if you plan on importing lots more geobaseNHN stuff) Cheers, Sam > Steve > > _______________________________________________ > Talk-ca mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ca >
