<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="mi-NZ">I've noticed that the import of topographic data from LINZ was never completed. This took place between 2008 and 2014. During this time, the majority of topographic data from LINZ was imported into OSM. Since 2014, only
addresses and building outlines have been/are being imported.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="mi-NZ"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="mi-NZ">I've put together a proposal to continue importing 41 of the remaining data layers from LINZ.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="mi-NZ"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="mi-NZ">I've updated the OSM Wiki page to provide an overview of what data is and isn't in OSM, and the OSM tags used for each layer.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="mi-NZ">This is available here: https://wiki.osm.org/LINZ The proposed new layers are marked as "</span><span lang="mi-NZ" style="font-family:"Segoe UI Emoji",sans-serif">🔵</span><span lang="mi-NZ"> Ready to Import" in the table.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="mi-NZ"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="mi-NZ">I'd love to hear what everyone thinks about this proposal.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="mi-NZ">In particular, the proposed OSM tags for the new layers are just a suggestion - some of the choices are not straightforward and definitely need discussion.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
