[talk-au] vicmap data licensing

[Ross Scanlon]

Cut the data into small chunks (0.25 x 0.25 deg).

Load each chunk it into josm.

Download the relevant area to a separate layer.

Compare with what is already there.

Expect to spend a least 2 hours with each chunk depending on what data 
your adding.

Cheers
Ross
