Hi Andy
Impressive! Shame about the data. Just done a quick look around Acocks
Green - ATMs missing and some are up to 30m away from their actual
location. I would estimate about 95% accuracy. Anyone else had a look?

Some of them are spot on in my area and others are 30/50m away/on wrong
sides of the roads/etc.
They do have a light blue and a dark blue colour, the light blue colour

More great work from Matthew!
Andy, take a look in the top right to search for elsewhere around the UK.
I too was going to suggest that the locations were based on postcodes,
perhaps only some.
How is the data collected, I can only find links to their locator. Is it
scraped in someway, or

They're not even equivalent things? I've mapped many things with
highway=footway, that are most definitely not sidewalks. They go for
example between blocks of houses... or in the country side.
Use of sidewalk seems fair enough in the USA where it is part

UK cash machine data is fairly dense in OSM, i very rarely find any that aren't
already mapped.
Can't we just extract OSM cash machines? This will spur us on to map them
better in OSM in areas that are lacking, which will lead to a better OSM
The problem with path is that it doesn't convey any meaning. The original
idea behind footway was that it was a way that you traversed on foot. Over
the years others have wanted to segregate this blanket idea into different
fractions to denote the diffident types of footway. I can name a few

Hi,
I am now reverting these changes since DWG has had a number of
complaints about them. I sense that there might be some merit in the
idea of changing something, but people are opposed to how the change has
been discussed and executed. I'll have a word with the guy who made the
