I guess it's nice in those areas with low contribution precentage. But I suspect in many cases and definetly in Estonia there's a national high quality map database that could be used to augment existing maps instead. I'm wondering though, has anyone attempted to do so, quick Google search reveals nothing.
- photojosh 7y agoDepends on whether the owner of said high quality map database will license it for inclusion in OSM. My understanding, from following the Australian OSM mailing list, is that it takes an individual to pursue this with a government agency, which is a ton of work, and often you'll just get a 'no'.
- rmc 7y agoIt is possible to "import" other data into OSM. However it's very tricky. Licencing/legal issues aside, it can be very technologically challenging to merge another database into OSM. I suggest posting to the OSM talk@ mailing list, or if there's a local estonian one too
