Hi all,

In New Zealand the LINZ data import has been slowly progressing for many years. It began in 2009 and has been discussed a few times on this mailing list. For more info see https://wiki.osm.org/LINZ

There are about 100 underwater place names that have not been imported yet. They would be tagged with name=* + seamark:type=sea_area + seamark:sea_area:category=*, which is well documented on the wiki (see https://wiki.osm.org/Key:seamark:sea_area:category). Nearly all of these features would have a wikidata=* tag since they are well known places, e.g. the “Brothers Seamount”.

Some of these features are located in the South Pacific Ocean quite far away from the New Zealand mainland, so I thought this mailing list might be interested.

The wiki page has more info about other data layers from LINZ which are being slowly imported: https://wiki.osm.org/LINZ


Thanks,
Kyle
