Data Imports In OpenStreetMap – Love ‘Em Or Loathe ‘Em?

The Netherlands is starting to look really great in OpenStreetMap. This is due only in part to the tireless efforts of the Dutch Mappers – who are not to be deterred by the cold, rain, hail and winds of the Dutch fall season. Data imports have played a very important role in the state of the map in the Low Countries. As early as 2007, AND released its complete road network for The Netherlands to OpenStreetMap, and was imported in July and August of that year.
