I'm preparing to do an import. I've been following the guidelines, emailing the osm import lists, etc. I don't want to clutter the email however with what I think is a simple question. What Coordinate Reference System do I want my data to be in before I convert from ogr to osm? I'm preparing to convert my data in shapefile format to a PostGIS database. It's currently in WGS 84: 4326. Do I change it to the Web Mercator 3857? Thank you asked 02 May '16, 20:10  Jfact0ry |
One Answer:
If you are in a dialogue with the community on the import mailing list as you say, then that would have been a good opportunity to ask such a question! Also the people will likely want to see at least a sample of the .osm files you plan to upload. OSM stores its data in EPSG:4326 units. answered 02 May '16, 21:54  Frederik Ramm ♦ |
