I think you misunderstood me, geocoding turns lat/lon into street addresses, you can see examples of this when you type a lat/lon into google maps it will give you an address approximation for the co-ords. > - In time it'll be done, as my OSM work is currently voluntary > out-of-work time. I would think the majority of OSM mapping is on a voluntary basis. Maybe you should see if you can get some paid time to improve things for your council, this could be tourism/leisure type stuff ie footpaths/bike paths/jogging tracks etc :) Then the resulting maps could be used for tourism, not sure if that's done much as it is in regional areas, most councils in regional areas usually seem to staff a tourism centre. _______________________________________________ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
