in Bilston to the southeast of Wolverhampton. Weather is set fair so we
expect to be mapping till around 8 or 8:15pm. See the cake on the wiki page
for locations to map [1].

I don't believe there would be any point in creating more tags for
possibly incorrect names that are being searched for. A good search
engine can do all that legwork for the end user giving suggestions like
Google maps or something similar taking the hassle away.
As far as street names vs OS Locat

Is there an easy way to find the tile reference for a given area. I
have found what I need so far by trial and error, but with 400 tiles
it can be a bit of a pain.

mapped, but this highlights some new closes etc that have

Totally agree. Flooding OSM with not: tags is both pointless and
counter-productive. Why not implement a search engine type feature like
google suggest that spell checks and autocorrects. If the differences
between OS Locater and OSM are only minor, i.e. apostrophes, spaces in
names, etc then these
I've used old_name=* in places that might also be good to be a
warning suppressor.
Sometimes visible signs remain but may fade away, sometimes it's been a

and road sign installation). There was one case where the end of th
