I'm in line with this view too. We cannot assume that the OS mapping is
correct, it may or may not be current or accurate, so it's useful as a guide
in the absence of any other verification source.
Hi again,
Thanks for the feedback on building traces. The consensus seems to be
for a JOSM plugin while others saying all surveying should be done on
the ground. Surveys are only practical where there is permissive or
public access to buildings, but the majority of buildings are
inaccessible
Hi Henry
As a lurker, and someone that would be keen to contribute, can I suggest
somewhere where effort would be useful - A simple mechanism to attach
attributes to streets. Perhaps a web interface with those incomplete
streets highlighted. This would be low hanging fruit to a local, with a

We need to be careful about extracting shapes from products that are

Do you know how OS do the water detail?

Hello all,
It seems there is a consensus on what we do with the OS data:
- not bulk importing
- careful mix of tracing and perhaps some targeted direct imports, ideally
using local knowledge and on-the-ground surveys
To achieve that careful mix we need to be clear about areas that are
