Is the National Chargepoint Registry data open for OSM now? If not
somebody should write a nice enough letter?
It is open, it's OGL now. But it's not reliable enough for an unfiltered
bulk import; there are duplicate entries, incorrect coordinates and
incorrect or missing addresses.
And missing entries. Two charge points that I have mapped do not appear,
at least with a post-code search.
Yes; it's a good start, but by comparison with other (non-open) sources,
it appears to have only around 80% of the total included. Although
missing entries are less of a problem for a data import than erroneous
entries, because gaps can be filled in manually. It's the errors which
are more of a problem, because it's generally better not to map
something than to map it wrongly.
