[OSM-talk] [Imports] amenity=bicycle_repair_station :::: only 18 so far

[Peter Wendorff]

Hi,

Adding option 4, already used on many other imports:

Use some externa repository for manual checkup, as done e.g. for fuel
stations [1], where the list of fuel stations was spread via wiki and
some other tool I don't recall exactly.

This allows to verify the progress (let importing users add a link to
the objects after their import), and it allows to verify the data. I
remember we checked most of the items on different sources as well, like
websites and aerials (you see fuel stations on imagery usually).

regards
Peter
