Since the HooDoo Google My Map wouldn't work I emailed [EMAIL PROTECTED], the contact listed at http://www.fs.fed.us/r6/willamette/manage/gis/index.html, asking for campsite locations. She replied with a shp file containing exactly that and confirmed that the data is public domain (see below). I plan in importing with source_ref=email:[EMAIL PROTECTED];wil_campsites.zip
Next question: What tools exist to help me merge/conflate the points I'm importing with existing data (if any)? I could make an osm file that contains all existing data that might be duplicated and use gpsbabel. I don't see anything about duplicates at http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Import Sorry for so many questions about a fairly small dataset. I'm getting my feet wet and plan on working up to larger imports. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Rosana Costello <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Thu, Aug 28, 2008 at 9:58 AM Subject: Re: Campsite locations in Willamette To: Tom Brown <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Yes it is, our public website is just woefully out of date and is being updated. So eventually, this and more will be available for our publics to download. I believe most if not all downloads will be in shapefile format. Rosana A.

Just to be sure, is this data public domain, the same as data published on the web? http://www.fs.fed.us/r6/data-library/gis/disclaimers.shtml Thanks, Tom
