Re: [Talk-GB] WeeklyOSM: Road colouring and local taginfo
This does remind me of seeing a similar map at SOTM Scotland a few years ago showing roads named street which should show mostly urban areas. Unfortunately there was, and still is an issue with Watling Street, a very prolific armchair mapper has added the name to any part of the A5/Watling Street which has no other name. I have managed to survey and confirm some sections have no on the ground name and have removed them, but it does need more work.

[Talk-GB] WeeklyOSM: Road colouring and local taginfo
Hi all, A couple of things from this weeks WeeklyOSM that piqued my interest: First map showing roads coloured by their name (street, lane, avenue, etc) for several UK cities: https://twitter.com/puntofisso/status/1213135545121099777?s=19 And second, geofabrik's local instances of TagInfo. The urls follow the regions on their download site: http://download.geofabrik.de/ So for example we can now look at a TagInfo site for Lancashire and another for Warwickshire. It might be fun to do some stats on how the varies region differ (taginfo has an API for retrieving data) without having to hit the Overpass API or have your own copy of the OSM database. https://taginfo.geofabrik.de/europe/great-britain/england/lancashire/ https://taginfo.geofabrik.de/europe/great-britain/england/warwickshire Thank you. *Rob* ___ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
