[Talk-GB] 2014 OS OpenData

2014-05-09 Thread tony wroblewski
Hi All

Does anyone know how recent the OS StreetView data is, and if/when the
update cycle is for the datasource in JOSM? I received an email from
OS this morning about the release of the new 2014 maps, but it seems
to me the OS StreetView data is maybe 2-3 years old now, and it some
parts maybe unreliable. I've been using it to trace farms, rivers,
ponds etc, so this data is fairly static, but I have noticed areas
that seem quite out of date.

Grant normally updates it when a new release is made.

Last year he did a diff between all the various releases. See:

Thanks Jerry, that's good to know.

This data is quite good for tracing water areas obscured by woodland
on the aerial photography. Also, it seems the highest zoom levels have
all but disappeared in Cheshire and Merseyside.
