The data might not fit into the OSM but its still useful.

There is a really messy public inquiry into a controversial road scheme on
the edge for the Peak District national park on the A268. You can read all
the gory details on the wikipedia article here: in summary: 4 mile route,

So this means that some renderers won't render some values; whereas if
we standardised on metres, then all renderers would render all values.

Presumably it would be possible to programmatically generate all

know all the prefixes now as freethepostcode and npemap.org.uk have

Nitpicking, but 48.28032 km/h *is* exact.
Although in the usual SI unit, 30 mph would be 13.4112 m/s (exactly).

This is going rapidly off-topic, but I think that this is an important
precedent we are at risk of setting here. One that shouldn't be made
in private by those of us who care about canals.

Thanks very much for the Windows version of osm2pgsql. It's very fast and I

It's just number of prefixes * 10 * 26 * 26.
What exactly are you looking for? Dedicated server, cohosting, VPS? Are
you looking to run a full slippymap, or only just something for a specific
region? Do you need to generate the maps on the server, or are you going to
render them offline and then upload them to the server?

All I'm really looking for is a place to store tiles I render offline.
