Importing modified OSM elements on top of OSM database extract

I've got a dataset of custom ids / tags mapped to OSM way ids. I wish I could import them, but this currently not possible.

How can I add this data, which is in .osm format, to a osm pbf database export e.g. from Geofabrik?

If this is impossible and as I'm going to import the osm pbf file anyway: Can I "overwrite" features by doing a osm2psql import of custom data on top of a prior OSM import?

import postgresql

One Answer:

0	You could use the `osmium` program (C++) or `osmosis` (Java) to merge both files into one. Or you could use the `--append` mode of osm2pgsql to load your data after you've loaded the OSM data. answered 05 Jul '18, 22:30 Frederik Ramm ♦ 82.5k●92●720●1273 accept rate: 23%
