Re: [Talk-GB] Road name contradictions in the UK

Thanks, I’m thinking that there is some useful information here. As others have pointed out, it seems most probable that service roads probably won’t have names. I’ve a look at 10 of the Scottish examples, most of these actually seemed to be referring to buildings, some of which need mapping and o

I'm also wondering whether you should exclude Service Roads as it indicates an access road with no name, e.g. https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/225081816 On Thu, Mar 7, 2019 at 2:10 PM Jez Nicholson wrote: > I randomly found 2 good examples: > https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/634592359 and > ht

I randomly found 2 good examples: https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/634592359 and https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/478481882 which are both new housing estateswhich would fit why a road with a lot of houses is unnamed. They may have been mapped prior to them receiving official road names. The

Hi Oisin, I've taken a very quick look at this spreadsheet (oops, getting distracted from work). 1) Can you elaborate on the source(s) of suspected road names? 2) It would helpful if each of us could look at your list in a more localised aspect. Either including county would be more helpful, or a

Yes, I'm sure it would. Are there any specific nicenesses of these aerials - eg hi red, recent, different time of day? I'm currently having discussions about mapping solar panels in the UK. Both manually and semi automatically. (Don't worry, no weird imports!) Although existing imagery might be fi

Hi Jon, Apologies if this is obvious but here goes... I don't know whether you need to do anything other than visit these places in person and make a judgement as to whether they are trading or not. It's usually pretty clear with closure notices posted, etc. Then update the map accordingly by add

Hi, Near where I am are some mapped businesses properties which have closed, primarily shops, but also a couple of restaurants. I'm far from an OSM expert, and my gentle trawl of the wiki hasn't given me any real insight. It's got me thinking, and I'd like to improve information about properties

Even before the Belgian local chapter was formed, some community member(s) wrote to AIV (Flemish agency for information) [1] whether we could use their aerial imagery for tracing.
