Steps to convert boundaries shapefiles into usable common ways for adding to Openstreetmap
Posted by Answerquest on 15 September 2023 in English. Last updated on 14 October 2023.Assumptions: - You’re working with a district shapefile having village polygons, and you want to add the village boundaries to OSM. (Find+replace the terms as appropriate for your use case) - Instead of separate polygons, you want each shared boundary between say 2 villages to be loaded on JOSM as a LINE shape, so that you can add it as a Way and then include it in the respective Relations of each village - So this process will help you convert those polygons into these common boundary lines
