I prefer http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Ogr2osm to do the conversions. To convert you have to write a python function that maps the shapefile tagging to osm tagging. This is not technically very hard, but mapping to osm tags is very easy to get wrong.
If you're using Windows, I'd suggest using VirtualBox and Ubuntu to run it. > -----Original Message----- > From: Samuel Dyck [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: Friday, March 25, 2011 12:12 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: [Talk-ca] Importing MLI park boundaries > > Hi Everyone > > The Canvec data for MB provincial park boundaries is horribly inaccurate > and this bothers me greatly.
