Re: [Talk-GB] Adding buildings and addresses
Sorry, I completely missed your reply. The only OS layer, OS Streetview, which OSM can used is included as a baselayer in the main editors, but isn't being updated. MasterMap isn't an OpenLayer. OS's 'stance' will be "No." On 19/09/2019 08:11, Jez Nicholson wrote: http://maps.welhat.gov.uk/GIS/CMFindIt/ using the "Innogistic Community Map". I'm having trouble finding a product page.

I would imagine the maps are based on OSes high resolution mapping data, which is the data from which they make their money. I would be most surprised if they give permission. Generally the commercial resources to which OSM has access are allowed to OSM because they are not the best information available, so there is little loss to their providers in releasing the data. If you want accurate building outlines, without paying licence fees, you probably need to buy or hire a laser scanning surveying device. I think the prices may be eye watering. You may find that some of the more recent OS OpenData has more detail than StreetView data traditionally used for OSM. You will never get the best data. ___ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
