OSM Conflator

This is a script for merging points from some third-party source with OpenStreetMap data. Please make sure the license allows that. After merging and uploading, the data can be updated.

See the OSM wiki page_ for detailed description and instructions.

Installation

Run pip install osm_conflate.

Profiles

Each source should have a profile. It is a python script with variables configuring names, tags and processing. See heavily commented examples in the profiles directory.

Usage

For a simplest case, run:

::

conflate <profile.py> -o result.osm

You might want to add other arguments, to pass a dataset file or prepare a preview GeoJSON. Run conflate -h to see a list of arguments.

Uploading to OpenStreetMap

It is recommended to open the resulting file in the JOSM editor and manually check the changes. Alternatively, you can use bulk\_upload.py_ to upload a change file from the command line.

Please mind the Import Guidelines_, or your work may be reverted.
