Hi, I saw that the original import of files like
http://msi.nga.mil/MSISiteContent/Stati … b110bk.pdf
(or better yet, http://msi.nga.mil/MSISiteContent/Stati … 110bk.pdf)
I'm not looking to import, rather, I'm looking at the step where "First of all a OSM file is being generated out of PDF data." mentioned on this page
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Open … hts_Import
How does one do this? I don't see any code or executable.

This project was abandoned several years ago. It had two major problems: The data extracted from the NGA documents is very inaccurate, which made merging it extremely difficult. Also the import did not comply with the OSM import requirements, which earned OpenSeaMap a bad name.

Hello malcolmh,
This project was abandoned several years ago. It had two major problems: The data extracted from the NGA documents is very inaccurate, which made merging it extremely difficult. Also the import did not comply with the OSM import requirements, which earned OpenSeaMap a bad name.
I observed that NGA documents are available as xml files now.

https://msi.nga.mil/MSISiteContent/Stat … Pub111.xml
https://msi.nga.mil/MSISiteContent/Stat … Pub112.xml
https://msi.nga.mil/MSISiteContent/Stat … Pub113.xml
https://msi.nga.mil/MSISiteContent/Stat … Pub114.xml
https://msi.nga.mil/MSISiteContent/Stat … Pub115.xml
https://msi.nga.mil/MSISiteContent/Stat … Pub116.xml
Data based on this documents seems to be more accurate now.
Sample from LoL 115, name "Megra.", ref=L7048
Position lol: 66.1718055894557, 41.6172222900225
Position osm: 66.1500000,41.6333000 (taken from id-1208588673 / version 1, changeset 20930372)
Sample from LoL 115, name "Nes', on N. entrance point of river.", ref=L7100
Position lol: 66.6737223035826, 44.4855278591381
Position osm: 66.6667000, 44.4833000 (taken from id-1208588734 / version 1, changeset 20930372)
From my point of view we can use the documents:
- for the automated identification of lights which are missing in osm (in minimum to find candidates for manual import)
- for automated detection of lights that which are still present in osm and lol
- for automated detection of lights witch are present in osm but where removed from lol.
Can you make assessment of the xml data and give some feedback?
