Thanks, Robert, for this excellent resource (though I admit I've mostly 
used the ITO equivalent in the past).


One thing seems clear: Ordnance Survey are ignoring our not:name entries 
that identify errors in their data, as this obvious typo makes clear: 
http://ris.dev.openstreetmap.org/oslmusicalchairs/map?osl_id=804922 
(error noted nearly two years ago).

[Talk-GB] New OS Locator (201305) out, Musical Chairs updated

2013-05-04 Thread Robert Scott
Hi all,

Just in time for your May day bank holidays, which I'm sure you're all going to 
be spending mapping, the new OS Locator release is out and I've updated Musical 
Chairs[1] with it.

(Is it really 6 months since I wrote one of these emails?)

Interesting changes should be particularly visible in the "recent relevant 
updates" view[2] for the next week or so if you want to take a look.

In this update there seem to be 5247 new or changed entries. Looking at these 
early can often show you interesting things like names of roads in housing 
estates that aren't built yet.

As ever I've put up a version I've assigned my ad-hoc stable ids to (what?[3]) 
here[4] in case anyone would find it useful.
