Richard: the road still doesn't seem to be rendered; perhaps it will be by the time you read this, It is. David - can you define the extent of information that needs to be included, to 'complete the county'? I would be interested in the answer to the above too. The villages I visited the other day I was concentrating on roads, pubs, schools, churches, postboxes, telephones, and non-national speed limits. There was no hope of me getting to house number level in the time available. Similarly while I've noted where one or two footpaths branch off, I've not noted them all. I also wasn't sure that highway=byway was the right tag at the time I used it, and haven't checked since (a lane became a byway at one point). I was hoping that maybe the county could offer you their traces of footpaths, if they have them? I haven't uploaded the locations of the 30mph speed restrictions, but could do. I did this for the villages I surveyed by splitting the road and adding the maxspeed tag within the village area. I think the most important omission was that Lark Bank looks (on the OS Landranger) as if it probably connects to West Row 10km away, at least via tracks, although it also looks as if that enters Suffolk shortly after I turned round. There was one lane that I followed until it got to a gate, turned into a track in a field, and had a roadsign indicating no motor vehicles between 1st October and 30th April except motorcycles. No idea where that went... I notice that the Village Hall, playground and two Anglian Water treatment works I recorded don't seem to be rendered on the map. Have I tagged incorrectly? Not all renderers render all information. The Village Hall I think looks OK, so am surprised that at least the name doesn't show; the sports club tagged similarly (though as area rather than node) renders the name. The playground I think should be leisure= rather than amenity= (but haven't changed it) http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:leisure%3Dplayground Not sure whether that will render as a node either way, though. man_made=wastewater_plant looks correct as well, so probably just not rendered on Mapnik (something renders on Osmarender it seems) So the tagging looks OK except perhaps playground.

Re: [Talk-gb-midanglia] FW: A14+
I wrote: A14 to A1 northbound only seems to be labelled on signs as (A1) or (A1(M)). Thanks for the links and information about that stretch. Did a couple of the A14 Cambs villages at 7am this morning and will do a couple on the north side if still light when I go home (Redditch to Clacton). The couple of villages this morning were Keyston and Catworth (and Little Catworth). I'm home now, arriving home at 6pm after diverting slightly to drive and waypoint Bythorn, Molesworth, Brington, Old Weston, Leighton Bromswold, Barham and Woolley before rejoining the A14 at J19A. I'll try and get around to adding what I noted over the next couple of days. I've not checked what has been mapped already, but if there was a postbox (or church, pub, school or bus stop) in Woolley I think I missed it.

Re: [Talk-gb-midanglia] Anyone in Huntingdon?
David asked: This Cambs CC press release suggests a minor mod to the map is needed. Is anyone near? It's probably not worth me travelling specially to Huntingdon, but if anyone could cover it, that would be good. I'm not, but I think the junction they describe is probably this one: http://osm.org/go/eu69EOEXH-- in case it helps Ed ___ Talk-gb-midanglia mailing list Talk-gb-midanglia@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb-midanglia
[Talk-gb-midanglia] National Cycle Network mileposts
In case anyone here isn't in the talk-gb list as well, there is a wiki page now where Sustrans have provided their list of all the mileposts, and would like us to tell them where they are (more accurately than their text description of the location that is). The wiki page makes it clearer: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_United_Kingdom_Sustrans_Mileposts_and_Artwork#East_of_England_Region (And in case the above link is too long: http://is.gd/TdPr ) I thought perhaps we could see if we could try and finish our region first (although we may have to concede that Eire only having one post may beat us there...) There is an issue. I don't know if the Sustrans ID appears on the marker posts, and in some areas there are multiple posts of the same type with the same location description - Peterborough being particularly problematic in that respect. I've asked on talk-gb about this, but I guess either: a) we decide for ourselves which is which if the ID isn't available b) (perhaps better), we combine the rows in the table into one and have multiple IDs and multiple node links where the post type and location description are identical.
