Darrin, perhaps you might just make it clear exactly which roundabouts who has altered and where they are. I noted those two in Medindie, where as I saw it, I changed from a lesser quality of data (aerial imagery) to survey. I drove them at night and I can't tell exactly how large they were but they resembled traffic calming blips in the road to this rural motorist let loose in the city. They aren't the ones you nominate above, and I'm unable to view google imagery in my browser collection (Konqueror and Firefox, complied for 64bit). If I have altered your work, I apologise. 0 _______________________________________________ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
