[Talk-gb-westmidlands] NaPTAN import

[Brian Prangle]

Hi Thomas

>From our west mids meeting last night  a number of requests and queries came
up

1.Can you import Wolverhampton - the guys up there are ready to have a crack
2. Coventry will not be far behind but hold off until we've checked with the
major contributors there
3. We'd like to see the NaPTAN fields LocalityName and Bearing imported
4. We're not sure if stoptypes CUS, TXR STR BCQ and BCS have been imported
5. We're not sure if your local_ref field is working correctly
-essentially  it's just repeating the naptan:Indicator field

I'll be writing a short set of guidelines and also a summary of what we've
found for the import wiki page - to be published shortly

As a group we've decided to rely on our gps surveys of where bus stops are
and move the NaPTAN data to that location for merger with our data. The
feeling is that earlier bus stop surveys need to be repeated much more
precisely - examining some of our earlier data suggest we weren't as
accurate as we needed to be.

Christophe seems to be making good progress with the visual verify/merge
tool.

Peter - we're very keen to get our hands on aerial imagery - what needs to
happen to get this under way?

Regards

Brian
