Re: [Talk-GB] OS boundary data as background images in Potlatch or JOSM
Thanks Colin. The gpx files are what I was looking for, and will help me. I've done any updates manually by comparing the boundary line data up to now.

If you are looking for a display, then OSM Inspector (Multipolygon view) might help, as might http://layers.openstreetmap.fr . If you are looking for importable/traceable data, there are ready-to-go GPX files available at http://csmale.dev.openstreetmap.org/os_boundaryline/ which I made and am using. You can open these as a vector file in Potlatch and they display a nice thin blue line which can easily be converted to a way with alt-click. The thin blue line is then *replaced* with the OSM way so I often open the GPX a second time in the same session, to visualise the border in progress. I am slowly but surely working my way across Kent, taking around 10 minutes for a typical civil parish. Colin Hi I may have missed this, but is it possible to display OS boundary data as background images in Potlatch or JOSM? Or are users importing chunks of it directly into the database?
