hi, some days ago, in the italian mailing list, niubii pointed us to the italian TMC dataset [1].
The dataset contains all the italian motorways and main roads, and if we can use it (we are contacting the administration to ask about the licence) it could be a great improvement of the italian map. I think everybody should check the dataset avaibility and usability in his country, it should be in the same format all over the world. I'm coding a php set of scripts to import it to a mysql db (i managed to do it) and then to to OSM database via API and/or .osm files. In the next days i will try to generate a couple of .osm files of some main roads to verify the data quality. Right now i'm thinking how to reference the TMC data, and i think i will use a tmc : tmc_code = tmc_id Edo -- Edoardo Marascalchi ICT Consultant website: http://www.edoardomarascalchi.it skype: My status <skype:asca_edom?call> _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk
