<body><p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;">Hello,</p>
<br /><p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;">Wgile already using Openstreetmap (as website, in the applications foxtrotgps on linux and OSMAND in my Android telephone) I don't have any exzperience with adding data to openstreetmap.</p>
<br /><p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;">I want to start a local project in the Netherlands to add additional data to OSM, the dat data being unnamed POI's and/or new POI's.</p>
<br /><p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;">My plan is therefor to add data from my current data collection, which contains curently over 59.000 POI's, mainly consisting of churches, chapels and crosses (in Dutch Kerken, Kapellen, Kruisen).</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;">An example of a POI to be added is </p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;"><span style="font-family:monospace;">;; 8;; Noord-Brabant;Heeze-Leende;Heeze;;Ven;21;;51.36490;5.55883;;Sint Jobsklokje is Klokkenstoel;; </span></p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;">An example of a POI with additional info is</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;">Gelderland, Nijmegen, Graafseweg, 101, 51.83926, 5.85330, Nieuw-Apostolische Kerk : NAK_Nieuw-Apostolische-Kerk_Nijmegen </p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;">That last field is the name of a subset of a collection of photos on my website, see <a href="http://fred.mobach.nl/kerken/aklein/NAK_Nieuw-Apostolische-Kerk_Nijmegen.jpg">http://fred.mobach.nl/kerken/aklein/NAK_Nieuw-Apostolische-Kerk_Nijmegen.jpg</a>.</p>
<br /><p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;">The method I plan to use is:</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;">1. search for a complete set of categories (like churches, post ofices) and select the for me the relevant ones,</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;">2. download a selection of the complete database, e.g. a town like Nijmegen,</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;">3. try to add new or additional info on POI's,</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;">4. repeat the previous step for all subsets of the Netherlands.</p>
<br /><p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;">Thank you for your attention and please point me to documents / websites / procedures which will help me to first read the goal described in step.</p>
<br /><p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;">Best regards,</p>
<br /><p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;">Fred Mobach</p>
