Re: [Talk-GB] Postcodes map moribund?
Is it possible to do another map with all the partials on it. That way we can check them for errors as well. Don't worry if it takes too much effort.

They mostly just make a mess at the moment if you turn them on. I am planning on improving the algorithm at some point so I might turn them on then. They'd probably currently work for the IoM and NPE, but London on OSM would be a disaster thanks to all the street sign partial postcodes that have been entered.

2009/9/14 Dave Stubbs : > OK, back up and running now. Thanks for getting that up and running again Dave. Would it be possible for you to include labels for the postal sectors on there as well, so that we can see which sector the polygons refer to? The Isle of Man is looking much better now that the data's been updated, so it matches up much more closely with the NPE version :) http://old-dev.openstreetmap.org/~random/postcodes/?zoom=10&lat=54.2208&lon=-4.43359&layers=000FBT0F Cheers, Dan -- Dan Karran d...@karran.net www.dankarran.com ___ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb

It's now processing: postal_code on nodes/ways addr:postcode on nodes/ways first part of ref on amenity=post_box nodes Should hopefully continue to update now every Monday by about 14:30.

I just don't know when it'll happen :-) Aha, thanks for the update & good luck fixing it when you get around to it! It's a very handy tool to check up on the data and to motivate better tagging :-) Tom ___ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb

There's lots of streets tagged postal_code in the UK (mostly with just the prefix from a street sign) and then recently there's lots of buildings and points tagged with addr:postcode so those are included too. There are layers for data from the NPE and FTP projects too. Last updated in May. Dave ___ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb

Hi, Seen this map before, very cool. Do you use the postcode=* or add:postcode=* to pull out the areas? Ciarán ___ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
