Thanks for this Andy. Any reason why he didn't justify an article whilst he was alive? I'll try to fill in some of the gaps. BTW is Ben Mabbett a relative?He's doing lots of mapping in the W Mids Regards Brian On Sat, Jan 4, 2020 at 5:41 PM Andy Mabbett wrote: > Happy New Year to you all. > >

I was wondering if it was worth creating a wiki page to provide more of these examples. Clearly the value of the data and types of false positives vary across the country. Jerry On Sun, 5 Jan 2020 at 15:12, Russ Garrett wrote: > Given the obvious flaws in the data, I'm actually quite surprised

I'm using QGiS 3.4 on a laptop with 8 Gb, but I'm sure much less will work fine. Will send data separately. I'm not sure Facebook have corrected for offsets in imagery so whereas the topology may be better positioning may be worse. One of the simple quick wins from using ML on imagery could be

Given the obvious flaws in the data, I'm actually quite surprised how good it is at spotting unmapped service roads in London - including those which pass beneath buildings. Most of them probably deserve a survey though. Russ On Sun, 5 Jan 2020 at 15:04, Rob Nickerson wrote: > > Thanks Jerry. >

Thanks Jerry. I'd also subsequently discovered the data dump but had not yet got around to looking at it. What are you using here to view and work with the data? Is QGIS and 6GB RAM sufficient? I would be interested in Warwickshire if you can extract that. And yes, we probably are not expecting

Perhaps more useful is that one can download the UK data as a geopackage from https://github.com/facebookmicrosites/Open-Mapping-At-Facebook/wiki/Available-Countries. It's 147Mb zipped in a tar which unpacked is around 400Mb. I've had a very quick look and notice quite a few concentrations of
