<html><head></head><body>My personal favorite method is to get a GPX file of the points in the area I'm going to map and import it in osmand. They will look like favorites, but you can change the color of the whole group which is nice. Then, just travel to these points and take a note of which ones are there, not there or simply off by a few meters.<br><br>For most POIs, osmand also has a contribution plugin that will work nicely. I don't use it often, I prefer to take a picture instead and work from home as I don't like editing osm on my phone.<br><br>I've been using this method to integrate power substation data in France, using opendata. It works very well for me. I got the GPX extracts from osmose, but I'm sure you'll find a way to extract the data even without osmose :) If this is opendata and the community already uses osmose, maybe you could use it too?<br><br>HTH!<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On May 7, 2022 2:05:01 PM GMT+02:00, "Alex (AddisMap.com)" <alex@addismap.com> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
