[OSM-talk] How to import shapefile into OSM

[Niccolo Rigacci]

Hello,

as a result of the 1st Italian Mapping Party we have some geodata 
freed by the Municipality of Arezzo.

The data is in ESRI shapefile format, any suggestion to convert 
it into OSM? We need to open it in JOSM before upload.

I already managed to reproject into WGS84 and eventually convert 
into GPX, but in this way I lost the tags, e.g. highway names.

It seems to me that the TIGER import scripts are too 
TIGER-centric.

Happy Mapping!
