There's a bad route near my house which fools people often, like the Sainsburys delivery man. I submitted a correction to TeleAtlas, which was accepted, but it takes time to work through... both before and after the 8th of December, the route was equally incorrectly wrong. Does that suggest they haven't switched routing data? Gerv ___ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb

Google have finally done it: they've switched from TeleAtlas to Google map data in the UK. Set your stopwatches for the first newspaper story about man drives off cliff - '...but Google told me it was a road'!. Some of their choices are, shall we say, a little heroic. cheers Richard ___ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb

Some highlights in my area: http://tools.geofabrik.de/mc/?mt0=googlemapmt1=mapniklon=1.36799lat=52.60886zoom=16 This is a very bumpy single track public bridleway with gates at either end. It's actually part of NCN1 but an alternative, longer route is provided for those wanting a smoother ride. http://tools.geofabrik.de/mc/?mt0=googlemapmt1=mapniklon=1.22878lat=52.62211zoom=16 That cycle path is bollarded at either end and the track is for private use and has locked gates. So no, there is no access by motorvehicle to the university from the West. http://tools.geofabrik.de/mc/?mt0=googlemapmt1=mapniklon=1.23534lat=52.65464zoom=15 You've got to be kidding me... Marriot's way is a disused railway path which is now a cycle path with horses allowed too. Motorvehicles are not allowed. The bridlepaths are all unpaved and muddy. And many more. Sorry, Google, but there is no substitute for surveys and local knowledge. -- Borbus. ___ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
Re: [Talk-GB] Retour de l'autoroute britannique
Yes indeed. Just looked at Fernhurst, W Sussex for instance. The place is absolutely crawling with non-existent roads. Seems anything tagged with highway=track in OSM would qualify as a road in that...
