[OSM-talk-be] All served TEC and De Lijn stops are now present in Openstreetmap

[Jo]

The feedback for De Lijn is here:

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_Belgium/Bus_stops

Coincidentally De Lijn recently asked for this and they are now working on
verifying the locations, giving priority to the ones we found furthest from
the locations they have in their DB.

I had this nifty setup with mapcompare, but that doesn't work anymore. The
urls changed and I didn't have time to look into this yet. Normally when
clicking on the distance, you got OSM and Googlemaps side by side, making
comparison easy. I even positioned the map exactly between both versions of
the truth... PostGIS functions are great for calculating stuff like that!

I still have to do the same to give feedback to TEC.

Now I started to tackle MIVB tram line 97 though. The problem is, the rail
tracks were not correct yet. So I'm working on the 'infrastructure' too,
which is even more time consuming... I did this in Gent and at the seaside
as well though. The problem is, that it's all interconnected, of course.
Touch 1 line and this influences several others as well. Hopefully the
number of conflicts will be moderate, when uploading this gigantic
changeset I'm preparing. It will take a few more days before it will be
ready.
