Those sort of places are very amenable to a Sunday bicycle ride when all the construction people are away, so we get a head start on the new roads that way. Out here, there are so many wrong road names on the commercial maps it is hopeless to try to find your way by Google or Sensis. They have used character recognition and guesswork to name roads so Hemley became Hentleys on both G and S Quite how Rankins Springs Road became Quarry Road is beyond explanation. _______________________________________________ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
