The problem with Meridian 2 is that it's a sampled set, so it's not as spatially accurate as we would like. The objects are present, but we can do better with shape if we wait, as TomH says, till the Vector Map District. We know that with lots of high quality GPS traces we can get very close to

I'm not sure the OS has reliable footpath data for the countryside anyway. Last time I chatted with the OS about this they were interested in whether OSM could work with them to update rural ROW footpaths because they don't survey them anymore. Cheers Andy -Original Message- From:
