Instead of importing lots of data, I have imported only one lake for your review and approval.
I have documented it here : http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/h4ck3rm1k3/diary/8927 Water files, Bull Shoals Lake, Norfork lake I have been looking for the shape files for the Bull Shoals Lake, and Norfork lake in Arkansas. http://water.usgs.gov/GIS/dsdl/ds240/index.html It is mentioned here : http://msdis.missouri.edu/datasearch/metadata/utm/st_lake_cls_use.xml "The following water bodies were included in the NHD and staff edited the polygons with GIS software to more accurately depict the water body. " 7317 Norfork lake 7315 Bull Shoals Lake I have used the shp2osm converter here: http://svn.openstreetmap.org/applications/utils/import/shp2osm/shp2osm.pl And I have written a filter to extract only water out of those maps : http://bazaar.launchpad.net/%7Ekosova/%2Bjunk/openstreetmapkosova/revision/100 The import looks good, and I am running it only Bull Shoals at the moment, using a coastline relationship. If there is interest, we can import more. http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/changeset/3355937 Coordinates: 36.6342; -93.5381 _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
