Re: [Talk-gb-westmidlands] Sandwell Gritting routes

2011-11-13 Thread Christoph Böhme
Hi all I've updated the gritting map [1]. The data was retrieved from the overpass api and is hopefully up to date. The map now covers the area between 2.275 and 1.378 west and 52.314 and 52.679 north. Let me know if there are areas which should have gritting routes but don't appear on the map.
