[Talk-GB] Article on BBC web site about errors on street signs

2010-01-31 Thread Jon Burgess
The BBC web site has an article about the errors which councils have
made on street signs and the money it has cost to fix them. 

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/8489894.stm

They are asking for people to submit photos of any errors.

[Talk-GB] UK tube/rail/canal outputs updated

2010-01-31 Thread Steve Chilton
I have updated, with todays data from geofabrik, the OSM renders for:
 
London Tube (moved servers) http://is.gd/7qIA5 
UK Railways http://is.gd/7qINv and 
UK Canals http://is.gd/7qIFd
 
You may find them useful for checking these features in your area
 
PS: am aware of the Thames not showing up on Tube map, am looking into it.
 
Cheers
STEVE

Thanks for those. Is it possible to get the the rail & canals to zoom to 
the same as the tube? (level 15).

It's hard to check out details like tunnels & bridges.

Cheers

Have to think on that one.
It was deliberately done without full detail to highlight main features.
I will look at adding z12 and possibly z13 but that is a lot of tiles/server 
space.
Possibly just the road pattern with bridges and tunnels highlighted.
Certainly thinking of adding locks in on canal version sometime (as check 
mechanism).
 
Cheers
STEVE
