2011-10-25 Thread Andy Mabbett
I noticed at the weekend (but was driving with passengers, so couldn't stop), that the former MEB site on George Road, Erdington: http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=52.51533lon=-1.86205zoom=16layers=M has been developed and now contains new side-roads with residential premises. -- Andy

Andy, I was in there in Sept last year and added what I could see at the time (roads). Some of the properties were up. Needs a new survey. We don't have the road names yet either. I'll cover next time I'm passing, its on my radar. Cheers Andy -Original Message- From: Andy Mabbett

Am I missing something? That's the same George Road development? (Northcote). If so then I'm not seeing any changes other than my edits from last September. Cheers Andy -Original Message- From: Andy Mabbett [mailto:a...@pigsonthewing.org.uk] Sent: 25 October 2011 14:29 To:

@Ed - Thanks, I think I'll stick with highway=path. Although the developers drawings show some sort of cycling utopia there's nothing to suggest they are especially cycle routes. @Andy - ;) @Andy R - George Road? Nope, sorry! This is the City Wharf development in Lichfield, off Cherry Orchard.

As for the potlatch 2 code, it's worth clarifying that both the merging code (in potlatch2) and the serverside code for accessing it per-bbox [1] only deals with OSM format data, not GML. The work for converting it from GML into .osm is contracted to the people who actually understand the
