Its possible to get contour-lines of the whole of Denmark for free with a height difference of 0,5. It's available in .shp and .tab. Its the governmental site http://www.kortforsyningen.dk/ that gives them. Can i export it to osm in any way? asked 26 Jan '13, 18:19  rasm866i edited 26 Jan '13, 19:25  aseerel4c26 ♦ |

We do not store contour lines in OSM because they cannot be surveyed by individuals (and they would make our database quite a bit larger!). What we usually do is when we want to draw a map with contour lines (like e.g. www.opencyclemap.org), we mix OSM data with the contour lines from another source - without ever uploading the contour lines to OSM. answered 26 Jan '13, 21:04  Frederik Ramm ♦ 1 aah ouch, thanks Frederik. For some reason I thought of coastlines (contour lines of landmass...). Here height data is meant, okay.

Welcome rasm866i! Very nice that you want to enhance the OSM data, however, ... (Update) For some reason I thought of coastlines (contour lines of landmass...). Here, height data is meant, as we do not store them (as Frederik pointed out), all further information is not relevant anymore.(/Update) The process of adding a whole bunch of data from somewhere else to OSM is called import. There are many things to think about even before you come to the technical aspect. You can read about it at our documentation wiki about "Imports". Also see other questions tagged with "import". The most important things:
Most of these details of your idea should be discussed somewhere else (mailing list, forum, wiki ...) but probably not here. Please use the "add a comment" function to comment! If you want to add more info to your question, please "edit" your original question. answered 26 Jan '13, 19:38 aseerel4c26 ♦ edited 26 Jan '13, 22:18 |
Skönt att ni lyckas, Sverige har misslyckats med detta. Öpen Geodata kommer ingenstans.
