Hi All, This is Shalabh, one of the 'cheap Indians', as Stefan referred to us in the license change talk.
Now, I have been mapping parts of a mountain state called HP (Himachal Pradesh) in India for the last 2 months. Google's data for the state is barely basic, OSM's is not even that. Most of the OSM tracks I see here are AND imports. So, we have National Highways (NHs henceforth), 550 km in length mapped as a single line with no breaks. There are absolutely no attributes give e.g. speed limits. Of the few NHs in Himachal, I have travelled on almost all but in sections. So, I took down data on speed limits, bridges, no of lanes and so on. Now when I want to put this onto OSM, I have 2 options. 1. I delete the entire 500 km highway and just put my 10-20 (or whatever) km segment on 2. I map the entire 500 km highway before I can do anything Neither of the 2 above is practical. I am sure there are others who have mapped other sections of these highways and have not added anything for the same reason. Is there anyway the AND data can be segmented such that it can be deleted in sections and a new track with correct attributes put in as and when a mapper gets the correct data? Now I am a BIG 0 as a programmer, so if this is a no go, what else can be done? Any suggestions/thoughts are welcome. And remember, please point me to the guy who can do this as well, just in case something can be done. :) Regards, Shalabh
