Somewhere, she indicates that of 112 districts, only a couple of them are being processed!! Could it be an issue of wrong data in the shape file that is being fed to the ogr2osm.py script?? </div>
<div><br></div><div>More to that, along the iway in the discussion, someone(my apologies for not mentioning the name) states that there should be a work-around to that, but that's unclear, given the fact that the ogr2osm.py algorithm follows specific steps (and it doesn't seem to be handling checks for worst case scenarios), then it will always give you wrong output if you feed it wrong imput.. (garbage in, garbage out..). </div>
<div><br></div><div>My proposal is to make sure that the shape file at the input is correct. is there any way of validating the shape file before running it through the script ?.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br clear="all">
