So i posted my note to all 45 mappers in Canada who has a wiki page. Hopefully everyone will see it, when they log on.<div>I now need to dive into OSM and find major contributors who dont have a wiki page.</div><div><br></div>
<div>Using <a href="http://www.itoworld.com/static/osmmapper">http://www.itoworld.com/static/osmmapper</a></div><div>Im going to pan around across canada, and see what areas have been updated, and how fast it grew. .. </div>
<div><br></div><div>I will be creating a chart "What todo with current data" this way, it can be clear on who is ok with having duplicates over there area.</div><div>If we can have the majority of mappers sign on the chart... that would help. (I think)</div>
<div><br></div><div>I still think that it's a 2 part process. .. 1 the initial import, and 2 importing and 'syncing' with current data. Im sure that it is technically possible, and we do have the knowhow to make it happen. ..</div>
<div><br></div><div>Getting this information from users directly would help, ... on 1 of the users notes they suggest this </div><div>"<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: -webkit-sans-serif; line-height: 19px; ">replace with AND data and move existing data to a .osm for manual integration"</span></div>
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: -webkit-sans-serif; line-height: 19px;">.. so actually exporting the current area as an OSM file. ... then deleting it from OSM database, then importing the 'CanVec/GeoBase/GeoGratis data'. .. then manually merging it back. (keeping a working copy as a backup) .... so its essentially a reverse tracing?</span></div>
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: -webkit-sans-serif; line-height: 19px;">I can host OSM files on my site.. as anyone else can have a copy of the osm bbox.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: -webkit-sans-serif; line-height: 19px;"><br>
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: -webkit-sans-serif; line-height: 19px;">How's that idea??</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: -webkit-sans-serif; line-height: 19px;"><br>
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: -webkit-sans-serif; line-height: 19px;">Cheers,</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: -webkit-sans-serif; line-height: 19px;">Sam Vekemans</span></div>
