Re: [openrailwaymap] Mapping/importing milestones
Hello Michael,
I agree Alex. Sharing the work will speed up it because this import
can
only be done manually.
Like I wrote to Alex: can you agree with using the automated
import as intermediate phase?
The import has to be done manually because tracks might have an
offset
at OSM due to a Bing offset and milestones are not mapped on siding,
yard and spur tracks.
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.
You should split up the data in smaller pieces or create a WMS which
serves it. You already have a shapefile, lots of WMS servers/their database backend have
an hapefile import.
I'm not familiar with WMS. Do you happen to have a
screenshot? Thank you for the suggestion by the way.
Best regards,
Jeroen
