[Talk-GB] Warwickshire County Council releases aerial imagery
Hi everyone Warwickshire County Council have released 3 sets of aerial imagery under OGL. You can find them here *http://wppgeog3/gs/Aerial_Photography/wms http://wppgeog3/gs/Aerial_Photography/wms* . JOSM users just add to your imagery layers under preferences. I don't know how to add it to Potlatch, not being a heavy user. The best set is from 2012/13 at 12.5cm resolution which is both more up to date and more accurate than Bing. Naturally the imagery does not stop at the boundary so some of you in neighbouring counties might find this useful - not sure how far the imagery stretches - I'm too busy remapping inside Warwickshire using the imagery! We should acknowledge the source when tagging - I suggest Warwicks CC aerial imagery OGL2 Regards Brain ___ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb

Hi Brian! This looks fantastic and will be really useful for Wikipedia too (Aerial views of significant buildings etc). However, the link you've provided obviously only works for mapping. Is there a regular HTML-based 'homepage' the describes the aerial imagery collection etc, that you know of?

Re: [Talk-GB] Royal Mail Parcelforce delivery offices
I think amenity=post_office has a specific meaning in the UK and we shouldn't be mapping the Royal Mail depots as offices. There are always some confusing cases. I've gone past a Royal Mail depot and Post Office that are attached. I'm guessing most town centre depots have been closed down and only Post Offices exist now. The sorting office has a separate entrance (I suspect only open in the morning while most people are at work). I haven't mapped the amenity=post_depot as my battery has usually died from earlier mapping from the bus trip (eventually I'll get there), feel free to do so from aerial imagery. http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/54.84322/-1.47110 Greg.

Are these amenity=post_office, or something else? If there is a facility that allows the general public access to collect or send mail then I'd consider amenity=post_office to be appropriate. They're not Post Offices, though. Post Office (capitalised) has a very specific meaning in the UK, with more services than just posting letters. It depends what we want amenity=post_office to mean but I'd say at a minimum without further tags it should mean you can actually post something. If someone goes to a Local Delivery Office with a parcel to post they will be in for a surprise. I agree, we need a different tag for delivery offices compared to post offices which are significantly different. If a lay person searches for a post office they need to get what they expect to be a post office. I’ve recently come across someone who was essentially saying OSM is confusing due to the problems with the located in parts of the Nominatim search results being wrong. A similar thing will happen here. Delivery Offices will pretty much only accept prearranged parcels and pickups. The pickup of parcels from Post Offices is a fairly recent change. Companies such as Collect Plus and myHermes operate through newsagents and smaller supermarkets, thus I’d say it’s a property of the shop rather than being an amenity itself within the shop as it’s the same counter that you buy stuff from where you drop off and collect the parcels.

Re: [Talk-GB] Warwickshire County Council releases aerial imagery
Grant, There must be a bust in the original URL as WCC were I think proposing to release a server link that would just provide access to the Aerial Imagery.

[Talk-GB] Warwickshire County Council releases aerial imagery
Hi everyone This url is indeed just for the 3 sets of aerial imagery and I will check with Jonathan at WCC if it's correct Regards Brian Hi All, As noted the http://wppgeog3/gs/Aerial_Photography/wms link will not work on the public web (it's a internal link for Warwickshire CC only as it has no top level domain such as .com). Whilst we are waiting for Brian to get an updated link that provides only access to the 3 aerial imagery layers that we are allowed to use, I will answer some of the other questions raised: - This is available under the OGL v2.0 (as confirmed in person and by email to several OSM members in the West Midlands) - Warwickshire CC are hoping to create a web-page with more details in the near future (ideally this week; depends on the web team). That should cover the licensing in detail - I had informal conversations about getting open licence access to some of the other layers that WCC have and will follow these up in due course. If you have an urgent desire to use something (e.g. street lights, bridge restrictions) then let me know. Regards, Rob p.s. I'm not subscribed to this list so apologies that my replies are not properly threaded. ___ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb

Oh sorry, I've just realised that Grant's link is fine. I should read (and test) before writing! http://maps.warwickshire.gov.uk/gs/Aerial_Photography/wms Just pop this in JOSM's +WMS dialogue in the setting menu.
