How to add app. 1000 Poi's

Hi folks,

i just stumbled over OSM and as a complete newbie on public mapping, i dont even know what to look up in the faq's.

So whats it all about. Due to my former profession i collected app 1000 Poi's from tunnels,bridges on german highways wich i like to share with the comunity. all are stored in Garmin mode like speedcams with aproaching alarm.

Is there any1 out there who can give me a hand on transfering this data to OSM?

Hi Bobo,

if you use Linux you can follow the HowTo I wrote this year for exactly this use case:
Importing collected waypoints I
Importing collected waypoints II
Be aware that Germany is well mapped and you probably will find a lot of your POI already existing.

Hi Malenki,

tnx for your advice, but i'm not using Linux or any other scripting like Phyton or similar. I'm a plain Win user.

this Poi i collected were used for road restrictions regarding heavy load transports given by permit's from the government. Despite former searches i never found a data collection like this before.

If you don't mind I could import your POI since this is a difficult task for OSM beginners.
