Re: [openrailwaymap] Mapping/importing milestones
Hello everyone,
does anyone object the following plan?
1. Import the milestones automatically at their current database location
2. Set up a mapping project/request to re-locate the milestones
The advantage is that we have data available for the entire Netherlands until the
milestones are mapped at their final location.
Kind regards,
Jeroen

Like I wrote to Alex: can you agree with using the automated import as intermediate
phase?

I checked this at the first try of this import and it didn't cause noticable
troubles. The only case I found is a new railway tunnel which was put into service very
recently; it replaces the former parallel track on ground level. The reference ribbon is
still at the former track at this location.
I will handle this section manually and check ProRail's logs for recent geometry
changes.

I'm not familiar with WMS. Do you happen to have a screenshot? Thank you for the
suggestion by the way.
Best regards,
Jeroen
