Bicing Barcelona
This is the import page for Bicing Barcelona. The import is related to the bicycle rental stations published at the [1] portal.
Bicing Stations
The bicing stations dataset currently contains about 400 stations. The import will:
- be one time import
- avoid publishing a station if a station exists already in a 100 m. radius (i.e. a mapper already created the station in OpenStreetMap)
- inform about already created stations to provide information to merge the current data
The initial discussion about Bicing Import took place on the talk-es [AT] openstreetmap.org mailing list: follow the original thread (in Spanish). The plan hereby described already takes into consideration suggestions and improvements discussed with the Spanish community.
The discussion with the imports [AT] openstreetmap.org mailing list is took place here: follow the thread (in English).
The software used to import the "bicing stations" from an XML feed towards OpenStreetMap has been open sourced. Its source code can be found on GitHub.
