Always take some time, you knew that uploading 1000 POI wasn't going to be appreciated.<br><br>Uploading bugs to OpenStreetBugs is very easy. A few lines of bash or perl code would do <a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OpenStreetBugs/API_0.6#addPOIexec">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OpenStreetBugs/API_0.6#addPOIexec</a><br>
<br>But the problem isn't in uploading to OSB or OSM, it's checking if there isn't already a speed limit present. The OSM database shouldn't be filled with duplicate data if the data is already okay. For OSB, this might be less of a problem, but it's still not wanted.<br>
<br>Does anyone see a way on how to achieve this?<br><br>Regards,<br>Sander<br><div class="gmail_extra"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2012/11/21 A.Pirard.Papou <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:A.Pirard.Papou@gmail.com" target="_blank">A.Pirard.Papou@gmail.com</a>></span><br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
A GPS addicts group has encoded a file of over 1000 30 km/h speed
limits.<br>
Their leader has just discovered OSM, ITO Map, etc...<br>
He's promoting security much and would like his data into OSM.<br>
I wrote on talk-be that this was doing it the other way round.<br>
A speed limit has two ends and his POIs are nodes.<br>
They should have been encoded into OSM first and then extracted.<br>
If only the world knew that OSM exists :-(<br>
<br>
I have converted their file to a .osm file.<br>
I can transfer the nodes to another layer and apply a JOSM preset.<br>
That's quite fast but 1000 is much!<br>
But I can split the .osm file to share the work.<br>
<br>
Well, do you think it would be useful to add those POIs and how?<br>
<ul>
<li>as a side node with</li>
<ul>
<li>maxspeed=30</li>
<li>fixme=determine start/end and transfer these tags to the
way</li>
<li>source=<a>http://</a>...</li>
</ul>
<li>as a real limit on a sort distance, wrong but with a fixme?<br>
most often it's about the same distance astride a school
access<br>
this could be visible on maps, but make believe the mapping is
done<br>
</li>
<li>as a just a note on the way:</li>
<ul>
<li>fixme=please tag the 30 km/h speed limit here<br>
much time spent for little result<br>
</li>
</ul>
<li>another idea?</li>
</ul>
<p>A side node risks to be unnoticed and even left behind after
really mapping the limit.<br>
Mapping the wrong distance means risking not to notice fixme and
later split+join.<br>
</p>
<p>Well, what's your advice?<br>
</p>

I think I was clear enough presenting the options I knew to help
this guy.<br>
No replies.<br>
Now that I have prepared the quickest option 1, I receive all sorts
of contradicting replies.<br>
Why not before I did the job?<br>
So, my conclusion is to suggest you to do it exactly as you want.<br>
You know where the data is.<br>
I will certainly not manually enter 1000 entries in OpenStreetBugs
just in hope.<br>
But someone may know how to use OSB API. Or that they have none.<br>
And in that case, send OSB the file zone30_BE.asc. Or split and
share the job...<br>
<br>
Is the error having no speed limit or having a dummy node showing
there should be a limit?<br>
I had found that way to automatically signal the error to OSMI and
to OSMOSE and to ...?<br>
But you don't want that.<br>
<br>
I was doing all that because I once picked up a dead 10 yo that s.o.
knocked down, no speed limit.<br>
<br>
Goodbye,<br>
