There is a lot of work involved in correcting the .prj files (there are 11 for TM12 alone) and reprojecting each set of shapes, though perhaps someone can script something to automate the task. I can’t remember the update frequency for the data from OS either, so it may be this could do with repeating regularly. There is probably (I don’t know what the existing code does) also a lot of work involved in getting Potlatch2 to understand the .prj files and reproject on the fly (especially if the .prj files need tweaking automatically too) but it would only need doing once (until the next set of shape files, at least).<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Ed<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div style='border:none;border-left:solid blue 1.5pt;padding:0cm 0cm 0cm 4.0pt'><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0cm 0cm 0cm'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>From:</span></b><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> Graham Jones [mailto:grahamjones139@gmail.com] <br><b>Sent:</b> 14 June 2011 07:05<br><b>To:</b> Ed Loach<br><b>Cc:</b> talk-gb@openstreetmap.org; Richard Fairhurst<br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [Talk-GB] OSM Analysis New Data and bot<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p>I think it would be simpler to do the reprojection before uploading it.

It passed briefly over crowd-sourced uploading of the data if whoever sets up the account can share login or create multiple logins (I have the May 2011 TM Vectormap stuff here). But then I remembered what was involved with using the original release and wondered if things have changed. I refer mainly to reprojecting from OSGB to WGS84, which required manual tweaks to every .prj file [1]. Would this need doing before upload, or is it something that is now (but not deployed yet) automated within Potlatch 2?</span><o:p></o:p></p><p><span style='color:black'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p><span style='color:black'>Ed</span><o:p></o:p></p><p><span style='color:black'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p><span style='color:black'>[1] <a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Using_OS_Shapefiles#Re-projecting_the_shape_file" target="_blank">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Using_OS_Shapefiles#Re-projecting_the_shape_file</a> </span><o:p></o:p></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><br>_______________________________________________<br>Talk-GB mailing list<br><a href="mailto:Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org">Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org</a><br><a href="http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb" target="_blank">http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb</a><o:p></o:p></p></blockquote></div></div></body></html>
