Re: [Talk-gb-westmidlands] OS StreetView tracing vs surveying
I am with Brian. I have never taken data from another source and mapped it within OSM. Would it be worth covering this at Kidderminster next Saturday. On another point. I have mapped two electricity sub stations, one near home using my GPS handheld, and a second near work using my Android tracker. Neither have appeared on the map. Why?

[Talk-gb-westmidlands] Haiti Map
On the BBC front page was the Haiti Map as drawn by OS mappers. Another good use for volunteer time.
