ourFootPrints.de (http://www.ourfootprints.de/gps/mapsource-island_e.html) is an effort started in 2004 to create a free of change Garmin map of Iceland, for the past year I've been in contact with Thomas Ransberger who runs the project about getting his data into OpenStreetMap since we share similar goals.
A few days ago Thomas provided me with GPX traces & a dump of the road data on his map to start with. That's 22MB of GPX traces and a 29MB .osm file (the whole of Iceland.osm is around 67MB by comparison). I've already imported the GPX data under a dedicated user account with the .osm data to follow soon. The import user: http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/ourFootPrints%20import/traces The raw data: http://github.com/avar/ourfootprints-data Import scripts / documentation: http://github.com/avar/ourfootprints-import Here's the 29MB .osm file which is approximately what I'll be importing, after I've fixed up the source tags / highway tags etc.: !! DO NOT UPLOAD THIS http://v.nix.is/~avar/noindex/ourfootprints/ofp.osm.bz2 !! The plan is basically to upload that as-is except change the tags to be e.g. ourfootprints:highway=residential instead of highway=residential. That way a lot of duplicate data will be added to the database temporarily until we manually review & sort it out by either deleting it, merging it in to have highway=residential. Most of the data users like the renderers, mkgmap etc. won't notice since the roads will use previously unused tags. _______________________________________________ Talk-is mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-is
