Am especially puzzled by the slip road situation. Tomtom does drop the

I've just had an e-mail from Martin Green, who was one of the larger
undecided mappers. He has just in the last few minutes accepted the new

I've seen someone has already connected a load of roads up in Leek, but
there are still some issues. I'll see if I can fix those from my original
survey.

I originally surveyed Leek back in 2009.
It seems Mr Darren39 has simply "nuked" all of my contributions in the north
and east of the town, and replaced them with his own - and none of the ways

When I last looked some time ago, the OS recommended using Grid In-quest

They also claimed that the calculations should be accurate to ~ 10cm.

I'm an outsider to all this OS business but if you guys in the UK should

Hi,
Am interested in using the OS OpenData contour set for an augmented
reality app for walkers (extension of the OpenTrailView idea). What I have
in mind is to load them into a database and implement a lookup facility
where the elevation at a particular lat/lon can be obtained by querying
What I've done in the past is created a .osm file with my particular
post-code of interest - and then added the file as a new layer in JOSM
- so I can overlay it. I would certainly be interested to use this new

Please do not just add the centroid to the map. I don't see the value of

To give you an idea of what the contours from the OS "Land-Form PANORAMA

District, centred on the hill Shutlingsloe.

Yes they do. It's in the notes on the DfT website that private toll roads

not.
