I have added the ability to upload and view text files. Now will start to add a geocoding feature to them.

Thanks,
I have updated it and added more comments and links.

wow there is an open source railway simulator as well!
http://www.railserve.com/jump/jump.cgi?ID=5727

what about an OSM import for that?

SPAM

upload is now finished.

This project is so that we can manage the geocoding of large address databases in a standard way.

There are so many lists being imported in osm, but they have no way to manage data that is not with lat/lon.

So we need a tool to manage that transition

We should have a way to narrow down where the address would be
and allow for the user to click on a point with open layers.

We should have also some osm/open layer plugins for cataylst in the end.

I am installing this on sf.net now,
https://sourceforge.net/projects/openaddressdb/

Ok, it is working!

Just get the lastest version from
http://github.com/h4ck3rm1k3/OAD-Open-Address-Database

git clone [email protected]:h4ck3rm1k3/OAD-Open-Address-Database.git

run like this :
perl script/oad_server.pl

Install the database :
OAD/sql/createschema.sql

See the database here :
connect to http://localhost:3000/autocrud/OAD/addresses

I am going to setup the autocrud like this here:
http://dragonstaff.co.uk/oliverg/album

see the post :

I have started to edit the wiki page here,
osm.wiki/Kosovo_iMMAP_Import

and I am uploading the next batch of streets 30000-90000
http://www.archive.org/details/STREETDATA_Packages_Kosovo2 it will be done in some hours.

I have started a repository here :
http://github.com/h4ck3rm1k3/OAD-Open-Address-Database

Or even until they are able to provide, and to debug them.
To provide approximate layers for osm, for example the city would have a color based on how many addresses of a type it hase.

Here is the hack to shp2osm.pl that does the splitting,
please use that if you want to do mass imports.

Here are the immap street data split up into 100 street packages:
http://www.archive.org/details/STREETDATA_Packages_Kosovo

yes,
all this data is for OSM.
It was expressly donated to osm. I am in contact with all the authors.

btw
here are some videos from on how to process the data :

I have started a detailed page for Prishtina here:
osm.wiki/WikiProject_Prishtina#Data_Import

Also, I want to point out that everybody is invited to help out with Kosovo and Albania. We have been getting alot of raw data and there is so much work to do.

There is so much work that we would need another 10 people working on it !

so if anyone has time and wants to help, all help is welcome!

you can also just use gpsbabel or any other osm2kml tool and convert osm to kml and load it.
