Assuming you mean fuel stations, and not gas stations, then yes a lot have been imported. A lot of this information was released under CCBYSA licence, so be very careful what accounts you use to upload the data. The big issue, is that the imports were done a while ago, and the data has been slowly being corrected since then. This would mean if you imported a new copy, youd end up with duplicates, or at the very least, pollute the data that surveyors have cleaned up since the import. On my recent cross-country trip, I corrected maybe 50 locations of BP stations that were slightly incorrectly marked. Unless you plan on doing the 8000km drive to re-survey them after importing, I suggest you be careful about what youre importing. > One thing that I would like is a webpage for just restaurants, > something that we can give to noobs to collect restaurant data right > on the webpage with localizations. I think something like this would be good. Especially if you could get a list of just restaurants that are marked as needing review, but this is a topic for another thread.
