I think you meant "with little regard for the geobase data" instead of "with little regard for the existing data". right? If so, then yes... we disregard geobase data, and think of it as just some other mapper from afar who has never actually been there before, or maybe was, but a long long time ago. :-) I guess my answer is; Since your local to the data, it's up to your disgression on how you want to deal with it. ... end result is to make a better map. Thats why the files are (will be) available todo with as you please. Feel free to destroy/mix/change the geobase tags/data is you like. It makes no difference to the "OSM" map. The data is there to 'help' not to 'hinder' map development. Hope that actually helps, Cheers, Sam On Sun, Oct 11, 2009 at 4:04 PM, James Ewen <[email protected]> wrote: > On Sun, Oct 11, 2009 at 12:38 PM, Sam Vekemans > <[email protected]> wrote: > > > Maybe (James) it doesn't answer your question, but should help the > imports@ > > list understand more what's going on, as well as whoever is following > along > > on the talk-ca list :) > > You didn't even come close to the subject of my query.
