<div dir="ltr">The data on these trees is only added if the user consents. Otherwise, it is not. I am creating an open source app with my team. Licenses are built-in the app. The GPS accuracy is about 16ft and is calculated from the phone's GPS (phone location has to be turned on for app functionality; the user can choose to share location or not). Since the app is open source, I can not confidently say where all of our users will be distributed when they capture tree images. I suspect primarily US users capturing trees in their area. I am happy to answer any questions you may have and will look into the import process.

Hope everything is well. I am trying to add trees to OSM in an automated way via python. Of course, these are real trees that I do not want to add manually. I am planning to run the script every 30 minutes to process about 100 trees at a time, creating 7 changests for every run/30 min interval. Hence, every 30 minutes 7 changesets will be created, each having about 14 trees/nodes. These trees will be relatively close around a central GPS point. The comment would be similar to "Adding 14 trees all clustered around X GPS coordinate." Does the community have any concern or suggestions for this? Thank you, and I look forward to hearing from you all soon. <br></div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div><table style="border:medium;border-collapse:collapse;display:flex;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:libre-franklin,sans-serif;font-size:medium" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tbody style="border:medium"><tr style="border:medium"><td style="border:medium;vertical-align:top"><br></td><td style="border:medium"><table style="border:medium;border-collapse:collapse;display:flex;margin-top:12px" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tbody style="border:medium;width:auto"><tr style="border:medium"><td style="border:medium"><br></td></tr><tr style="border:medium"><td style="border:medium"><br></td></tr><tr style="border:medium"><td style="border:medium"><br></td></tr><tr style="border:medium"><td style="border:medium"><br></td></tr><tr style="border:medium"><td style="border:medium"><br></td></tr><tr style="border:medium"><td style="border:medium"><table style="border:0px solid rgb(226,232,240);border-collapse:collapse;display:flex;margin-top:14px;margin-left:15px;white-space:nowrap"><tbody style="border:0px solid rgb(226,232,240)"><tr style="border:0px solid rgb(226,232,240)"><td style="border:medium"><br></td><td style="border:medium"><br></td><td style="border:medium"><br></td><td style="border:medium"><br></td><td style="border:medium"><br></td><td style="border:medium"><br></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table><div style="border:0px solid rgb(226,232,240);margin-top:16px;padding-right:37px;width:949.5px;display:flex;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:libre-franklin,sans-serif;font-size:medium"><br></div></div></div></div></div></blockquote><div dir="auto"><br></div> </div>
