Re: [Talk-GB] Leeds Mapping Party Sept 15-16
We have an upgrade for the venue for Sunday, the brand new Old Broadcasting House, opposite the Fenton Pub, just a little way up from the main Leeds Met location.

[Talk-GB] missing road (edinburgh)
There should be a road, just north of Union Canal Towpath, connecting Dundee Terrace (bottom left) with East Fountainbridge (top right). http://www.informationfreeway.org/?lat=55.94184853520736lon=-3.2138223571634574zoom=16layers=B000F000 The ways are in the DB. Any ideas why it isn't showing on the map? Maplint appears not to know about it either. ___ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk-gb

Good work chippy. The wiki could use some more lat and lons though. I'll try and get a few from OSM.

Thanks for the ideas. I've remembered how much I hate tagging discussions now. Anyway. I've retagged the National Byway that I've done as route=National Byway so that there's something within the standard tagspace. Then, for a loop, I've added national_byway=Oakham Loop Just in case someone wants to universally render the national_byway tag, I've also added national_byway=National Byway for the main line, though for obvious reasons I'd rather not have to, and hope someone will tell me to stop it. If anyone objects please go and retag it: there's bits in Rutland around Exton/Ashwell, Langham and Wing/Glaston/Seaton; and a bit in Oxfordshire around Kirtlington. cheers Richard ___ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk-gb
