OpenStreetMap

I've bitten the bullet and started importing the bus stops in earnest (search the wiki for the background of the QROTI import).

After a random smattering across Brisbane of the first 50 or so, now I'm uploading in a northerly direction. Therefore it's a bit like a glass filling up.

The southern suburbs of Brisbane were easy but now I'm running into previous contributors' work. The Merge Node action of JOSM is coming into heavy use now.

Currently the "tide mark" is in the Indooroopilly - Yeronga - Annerley region. I'm about 20% of the way through.

Keen observers will note that I haven't added all the attributes in yet. At the moment I've only added in just enough detail to make each stop unambiguous.

Location set to one of the more interesting areas of the network.

Location: 4122, Mount Gravatt East, Greater Brisbane, Queensland, Australia

As the current author of the software to convert the UK's NaPTAN database, we'd be interested to see the methods you've used for tagging the data up, since you noted that QROTI roughly followed the NaPTAN scheme on teh wiki.

You're doing an awesome job.

I came across a few of your stops after I did a bit of ground reconnaissance in Corinda the other day, and augmented them with the data I collected. In some cases they were a bit off compared to my GPS points so I realigned them (hope you don't mind,) but otherwise they're brilliant. :D
