Re: [Talk-GB] A431 toll road

to Bath could really do with a proper set of dual carriageways from the M4 and going across Bristol to the M5. I frequent that area on business quite often, and am using tertiary roads most of the time simply to get into one side of the distruption, even before the road was closed. -- Lester Caine

Re: [Talk-GB] City names translation

in a different alphabet is something that the renderer can do if required. But this is a discussion for the international list rather than just the UK? -- Lester Caine - G8HFL - Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http

Re: [Talk-GB] NaPTAN (stop) import

copy of what was imported. What is available and easily accessible is growing daily ... but it does not need to be all imported into one database :) -- Lester Caine - G8HFL - Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http

Re: [Talk-GB] NaPTAN (stop) import

nice to hear that OSM is providing a stable base to work from, and since your own data needs to be accurate OSM benefits in return. -- Lester Caine - G8HFL - Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve

Re: [Talk-GB] NaPTAN (stop) import

that could be developed with data management tools that would then be usable with other data sets such as lamp posts, post boxes, telephone distribution cabinets and the like? -- Lester Caine - G8HFL - Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic

Re: [Talk-GB] New mapper has imported all Nottingham street lights

in this case reverting was just petty ... and that this data should be put back ... -- Lester Caine - G8HFL - Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers

Re: [Talk-GB] Getting Highway Agency information into OSM

properly. But I've yet to get my own copy to even route properly yet via B and 'C' roads. It takes me on a 9 mile detour going north from here :( -- Lester Caine - G8HFL - Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk

Re: [Talk-GB] Postcodes

mentioned the postman walking up the street - well I guess you could say that the walk also includes the driveway up to the front of each house/letterbox. Whether nominatim works or not is a search problem, not a mapping one (i.e. not mapping for the nominatim). -- Lester Caine - G8HFL

[Talk-GB] Duff data on facebook

created for 'Worcestershire', but even these are now being redirected to the 'correct' master according to Facebook. Can anybody throw ANY light on to why they insistthat their data is the correct view? -- Lester Caine - G8HFL - Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page

Re: [Talk-GB] Duff data on facebook

the corrections have been replaced by further links to Gloucestershire :( Croudsourcing only works if there is someone bothering to fix the problems ... -- Lester Caine - G8HFL - Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk
