Hey everyone,
A quick intro, I'm Li, found of mud-maps.com
We are currently working on a rendering engine that supports OSM for iOS
and after running some number os the Australian OSM data, i've noticed that
it's lacking a lot of place names. Comparing OSM data to GeoScience (GA)
data, here are some numbers.
• place:locality = around 1000 as of 23 Oct 2012.
• GeoScience locality = around 20,000.
I've extracted the place:locality data nodes from OSM australia and GA data
and ran a name string comparison to eliminate duplicates and would like to
upload the difference to OSM.
I have 2 questions:
1. Can anyone suggest tags other than the following?
name:<different>
place:locality
source: © Commonwealth of Australia (GeoScience Australia) 2006.
2. Using JOSM at the moment and uploads take a while, is there a better way
of bulk uploading data?
Look forward to your suggestions.
Li.
