Import/Catalogue

This page has been suggested for clean-up. Please Discuss.

Scripted imports and automated edits should only be carried out by those with experience and understanding of the way the OpenStreetMap community create maps, and only with careful planning and consultation. See Import/Guidelines and Automated Edits/Code of Conduct

This is a list of large-scale imports of external data (i.e. data not collected by OSM members) into the OSM database.

"Large-scale" means more than a few hundred nodes or for a larger area like a whole country. Just think about whether information about your import might be interesting to other people. If yes, it probably belongs here.

Those interested in uploading bulk data to OpenStreetMap should consider Automated_Edits/Code_of_Conduct

Only add planned imports if the planning has reached a concrete state. If you only have an idea or vague plan, add it to Potential Datasources.

Please order table by start date.

Ongoing Imports, Fully Scripted

These imports have been prepared by a script or computer program, typically checked into source control (e.g. SVN). Thus these imports can readily be refreshed or examined by persons other than the original importers. Typically these imports compare an external dataset to osm, and prepare either a one-way or two-way difference file to be applied manually:
