Hi everyone, What do you think of the idea to convert the shp files to OSM, then to GPX and upload it that way? This way, we (at a minimum) just have a gpx track of where the data that is available, geographically is. It doesnt mean that the features will end up being uploaded, it just provides a 'tracer'.
This can be VERY handy for the leavely mapped areas, as well as not so heavely mapped areas. (since its a 'guide' 1 of many gpx tracks around) This way, i can create a separate login for this, and just upload these 'created' gpx tracks, and it will NOT interfer with ANY osm data. Would it be possable to allow me to upload these tracks?

Some of it list 'trails' as being 'on road with vehicles' so that would be a 'tertiary' or 'unclassified' instead, so im wondering if i could convert the file to gpx and upload that (under a different login) That way, it is all available, at the min. tracable. This can prove 'helpful' in any area, so that it can be 'traced' or used to correct (or re-align) tracks where people have already mapped. Thanks, Sam P.S. For each import source. I think that it's best if i create a new login for it? -- Twitter: @Acrosscanada Blog: http://Acrosscanadatrails.blogspot.com Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/sam.vekemans Skype: samvekemans OpenStreetMap IRC: http://irc.openstreetmap.org @Acrosscanadatrails -- Twitter: @Acrosscanada Blog: http://Acrosscanadatrails.blogspot.com Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/sam.vekemans Skype: samvekemans OpenStreetMap IRC: http://irc.openstreetmap.org @Acrosscanadatrails _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
