Re: [Talk-GB] Yahoo coverage map
You can see result at http://dev.openstreetmap.org/~steve8/yahoo.html Thanks for doing this. I knew their coverage wasn't great but surprised at just how sparse. Interesting that St Helens should be on list and also within Y! coverage but it looks to me that someone has done a lot of work there since the calculations (in December I think it was). I've done some bits from Y! around there and Warrington area, mostly fields, streams, woodlands etc. Following discussions on the lists, I thought I'd leave roads to people 'on the ground'. cheers, LT ___ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
Re: [Talk-GB] Yahoo coverage map
Steve I am afraid I don't know the answer. Yahoo surely have all the imagery, but presumably have chosen to release this random coverage to OSM.

We're using their standard imagery, not some special OSM released subset...
