Hi,
The Ordnance Survey OpenData released today contains a dataset called
Code-Point Open giving the coordinates of about 1.5 million postcodes.
I've added a layer onto the postcode area map to show this data in the
same way it's been showing NPE, OSM and FreeThePostcode data for some
time.

Quick version:
Cycle map bug... nothing wrong with the data... will get fixed with
the rerender on wednesday.
Slightly longer explanation:
OSM is getting too damn popular ;-) There's over 100MB of relations

I made a slippy map for london to highlight no-named streets:

Yeah, there's work that could be done on the styles I'm sure, but
it'll do for now.
The idea is that everything should just become a washed out version of
the main map -- get naming things

I've been making.
The rendering dehighlights parts of the data that have probably just
been traced.
