Hi John
I understand that alouette995 is trying to find/get all object in Quebec with rcn_ref=1 tag. Is there a way to do such a request? By the way, I might be interested in your VB program :-) Daniel _____ From: john whelan [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: March-10-11 16:57 To: [email protected] Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Talk-ca] Batch transformation from rcn_ref=1 to Route One technique is simply to use JOSM, select the ways you want to modify then add the tag to all the ways in the selection. You can also delete tags in this way as well. Just be aware that standardization seems to be a word that OSM is not always comfortable with. The other technique if you are happy in VB is to get a local .osm file of Quebec then have a program run down the file to create changes to be uploaded by JOSM. I suggest you test it on a small area first. I can email you a basic VB program that does something similar if that would be of use. Be aware that bots and software such as this can create havoc. Je suis capable de lire le français but as you can see fairly hopeless at writing it.

I recently acquired the skills to edit tags for Cycleways and I am now confortable. Now for my problem... I realise that a lot of contributors have develop the Regional Cycling Network for La route verte (the provincial cycling route) but with lack of uniformity. Some have use tags(rcn=yes and rcn_ref=x) for each way and other have use the add to a route feature to update a global route. Route seem to be a better idea.. What I want to do is transform all tracks to the add to route technique. Is there a tool to make batchs modification to a lot of object on OSM? What I think about is: 1- Find all object in Quebec only (rcn_ref=1 could exist elsewhere in the world) that have the tag rcn_ref=1 2- Create the relation for this object with La route verte 1 (same as if we have use add to a route feature) 3- Delete tags rcn=yes and rcn_ref=1 from theses objects because it became obsolete Doing that to each route will standardize almost all the network in one operation but doing this by hand can take months. Is there a tool or some readings that can help me with this project? Or is there OSM meeting near Montreal where I can have that kind of discussions. Thanks, As you can read english is not my mother tongue ... please forgive errors but I am sure that you known what I am searching for. _______________________________________________ Talk-ca mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ca
