Camping in Sweden

Posted by hongakonga on 20 June 2009 in English.

I found a list of Swedens camping areas:
http://www.camping.se/Documents/GPS/SCR_GPS.xls

I added two columns and calculated the latitude and longitude coordinates:

It would be great if s.b. could insert those in the osm with a script.

We would travel to Sweden at the beginning of August. May be one could give me feedback if this would be possible before otherwise I would start with the most important ones manually.

Thank you very much.

It is possible to import from a csv file, which in turn can be exported from excel. However, for this to be ok, the original data would need to be correctly licensed and your calculations of latitude/longitude would have had to be done using public knowledge (ie. not geolocated using Google or similar)

If those requirements have been met (and I know I get annoyed at finding seemingly open data then failing to get it licensed correctly) then there is a script in svn called svn2osm. It's very old and needs updating to API 0.6 though.

Thank you very much for your response. I'm working on the license issue.
Never the less I'm going to look at the script . Maybe I can do something.

Cool,

I really wish we could find a suitable source of campsites for the UK. Combined with the opencyclemap that would be fantastic!

Oh and I meant csv2osm, not svn2osm.
