There appears to be a user named VanguardWay (
http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/VanguardWay/edits) who has been
systematically adding Vanguard Way to all ways along the route, all in
mid-September of this year. To their credit, I suppose, they've added it
as an extra name with a forward slash
(P.S. and as a local, I can confirm that no ways are actually named
Vanguard Way on the ground, at least not in the Croydon area)

Thanks for that. It's something that happens fairly regularly around my
patch too - people add the name of the long distance route to the

Is there a useful distinction between the two 1:25000 layers?
In the area that I was looking at (just south of Kirk Ireton in
Derbyshire) they appear to be different original maps, and it appears
that coverage of each layer is slightly different.

Hey!
I've recently started walking the London LOOP[1]. It's a 24 section
walking tour around London which seems mostly fully mapped (yay!).
However, it is mapped as one route which is rather large (245km). I
wonder whether it would be a good idea to actually split it up in each

Hi David,
It looks like the Vanguard Way website uses OS maps, and the ways that
form part of it in OSM haven't all been surveyed for e.g. surface, gates
and stiles, and that sort of thing.
I can assure you that I walked every bit of it last year, so I'd be
surprised if many gates or stiles

It is an area that interests me too, explicitly surface expression of
geology, (outcrops and faults mostly) and geomorphology (interesting
drumlins, meander loops, landslips, ...).
My personal conclusion is that by all means do low-key experimentation
but that any systematic mapping is better
Hi Andy,
I get all of your points on this one, but just as we generally don't go and
remove other peoples custom tags, I think it would be a shame if we remove
available layers. Having historical background layers can attract people to
other projects (Open Historical Map). I've even used historic

Dealing with it from a UI perspective is difficult, and I get the
impression that's the main issue, not the coding once the UI is figured
out.
I'm not a UI designer, but I'll have a go at sketching a few ideas over the
next 7 days. It would be a shame to drop background layers where they are
