[Talk-GB] New VectorMapDistrict comparison maps on ITO Map
I am pleased to be able announce that ITO Map now has a bunch of new map views comparing data in OSM with VectorMapDistrict. There are 7 new maps: two comparing roads in OSM with those in VMD (one highlighting omissions in VMD and the other from OSM), and also maps comparing railways, electricity, water, woodland and building data in the two map bases. The version of VMD we are using is probably not the most recent and we are also aware of some odd times on zoom 8. We will ensure that we using the latest VMD within the next few days and will be taking a look at the problems with zoom 8. In the mean time I hope it is useful. http://www.itoworld.com/map/group/21 These maps use our new ITO Map interface with a place search and sharing options which we rolled out last week.

Re: [Talk-GB] Licence change - one month to go
It is difficult to chase tainted junctions though. -- Andrew I've knocked something together as a trial for tainted junctions. My scripts extract the nodes at the start and end of a given set of ways and pass them through quick history to check the licence state. So far I've done motorways (and just motorways not links) that gives a total of 19 junction nodes due to be removed (where junction=one way meets another, not an actual motorway junction). Thus I'd expect 19 gaps in the UK motorway system come 1 April. This is quite good (and is probably a result that all the ways having been remapped). I'm not sure how far I can extend this though. The UK motorway system has around 10,000 unique nodes at the start/end of ways. Given that I have to ask quick history to process all these nodes that number is quite high. It might be possible to do the same process for Trunk Roads (and their links) but I suspect that for ordinary A-Roads the list of start/end nodes is likely to be too long to to deal with. Note: It is processing the intial list that is the problem, once I've process that list I only need to ask about problem nodes the next time. More info and a list of the problem nodes are on the wiki: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:MarkS/Remapping ___ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
