[OSM-newbies] importing data

[Lauri Hahne]

You can get Python for Windows from their official page at python.org.
Their documentation is also quite good. The most important thing to
remember - if you have experience with other languages - is that
Python uses neither brackets nor begin/end to mark blocks but
indentation.

>> Hi,
>>>
>>> I found out about Openstreetmap.org several years ago while living in
>>> Korea. I started uploading my traces (bicycle rides around the
>>> countryside), but then got more involved with making an actual map for
>>> my GPSr. The Garmin map was eventually finished, but I didn't really
>>> get back into OSM until recently.
>>>
>>> My question is, is there a way to import a Garmin .img (created from
>>> my own traces and public domain maps) into the OSM database? If not an
>>> .img file, how about the associated .mp file (for use with GPSMapedit)

>> You could have a look at

>> this has been updated for API 0.5
>> if not you'll have to convert tthe 0.4 output to 0.5 see
>> http://svn.openstreetmap.org/applications/utils/conv05/
