Al,Hi folks, I added my first trig point to the map earlier this week. Following the tagging method from the features page I added the flush bracket number, which I copied from the trig point itself, with ref=S4110. There is an option for a tag tpuk_ref=*. I don't recall seeing anything on the trig point itself, but then it was slightly damaged, and used the information from trigpointinguk.com to provide, what they call, a waypoint number. However, looking at their terms and conditions it seems that most of their info is Ordnance Survey copyright so I removed that.Does anyone know where I might find a version I might use, or indeed, should it have been available from the trig point itself? not quite sure which bit of information you are asking about? If it's the waypoint number, that's just a random sequential tag allocated by the T:UK ( and shared with the Bench-Marks site) and nobody there would object to it being used. But it has no other significance, so would be of little value for mapping. Flush Brackets are a different matter. OS are notoriously (and completely illegitimately) uptight about mapping copyright, but Flush Brackets numbers don't appear on maps. The numbers are also made freely available on OS sites. In any case, if the data (FB number) is derived from a personal visit to the trig, then none of this matters: the OS don't own the copyright on the actual numbers! -- agentmancuso |
