[Imports] Update of german Aral petrol stations

[Bas van Kempen]

Hi Sander/everyone else,

I’m the person working for NavAds here in Amsterdam. What kind of data are you thinking about? Ofcourse we can’t share ALL of our data right now, but I’m curious as to which you would consider useful to potentially publish to OSM. I can name a few customers that we currently have in our database, namely:

·        BP/Aral

·        Best Western Hotels

·        Avia

·        Costa Coffee

·        Lidl Supermarkets

·        Carrefour

·        Burger King Nordic

·        Hornbach

·        Glassdrive

·        OKQ8

·        Movenpick restaurants/hotels/bars

Just to name a few.  We’re currently investigating if there is potential interest in these POI’s. If there is interest in uploading these to OSM, we could see which data we can potentially make available for download. I personally think it would benefit the entire OSM mapping community if we could add all these places, seeing as they are relevant to people using OSM for navigation purposes. If you let me know what kind of data would be relevant to upload to OSM (eg. Petrolstations, hotels, supermarkets, etc.) I can have a look at what we can publish through our website. Ideally, it would be all of our data, but I will leave that up to the good people of OSM. :)

I do wonder what datasets other than the BP stations are available on navads.nl<http://navads.nl>
If every region has some data, I think it would be great to think of a more global solution.
F.e. try to make an automated QA-style map, that shows where OSM POI are missing, where tags are missing, or where OSM might contain already deleted POI.
That way, by combining the data from different sources into one QA map, it would be possible for contributors to work in their local neighbourhoods (instead of a small team doing a big import of one feature). Together with user feedback, it might even improve the original database.
This would be achievable when navads shares all (or more) datasets openly, or when the QA-style map is hosted on the navads site itself, where the number of requests can be limited, a login can be required, ... I hope this fits somehow in the business plan of navads, and it's legally possible.
Regards,
Sander

What about the case where the station changed owners, and is currently "brand=Something Else"?
How will those match up?
