Hi everybody, let me introduce first: I am doing a similar work as openstreetmap does. Actually I wanted to start something like this in 2003, when I didn't have a job and lots of time - but no money to get it up and running.
Well, having just ISDN I didn't catch openstreetmap.org and did my own thing. My focus was on sports - such as calculating route-lenghts and the like. In 2003 I bought my first GPSr an started a bloody hack to visualize the tracks. Currently I have two major maps with about 100.000 WPs each that are categorized in terms as area (mountain, forest, in-town, ...) and WP-Types like Roads (gravel, small road, highway, bridge ...), service (Restaurant, cash-dispenser, gas-station), ways (path, fixed path, stairs, ), area (picknick, park...) hospitals ... To make a long story short: How do I get all these into the map? Is there a forum to discuss things? I won't have the time now to re-edit 200.000 WPs, but I would take the time to write a convert routine to make a bulk upload - if it doesn't require editing afterwards. I'd be glad to be a part of the community, and as far as I can tell after a few days of looking around at least 150.000 WPs of my collection are not in openstreetmap.org - yet. Any ideas? P.S. I can write GPX-Files with some of my own extensions. -- -m*sh- ___________________________________________________ | harry w. graner |mail: hy [_at_] sha-mash [_dot_] de |--------------------------------------------------- [public gpg-key on request] take a look at my blogs: http://sha-mash.blog.de _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk
