[HOT] Getting the Bounding Boxes of the Validated Regions

[john whelan]

Essentially you are proposing an import.  There are OpenStreetMap rules
about how this should be done.  It can be done, Microsoft has released
building outlines for the US which were created in this manner but the
import itself is being done in sections by conventional mappers.

You will need the cooperation of the local mappers on the ground and
imports of dubious quality tend to get a fair chunk of flack.  I would
suggest you Google OSM imports before doing anything.
