Looking at what the results of the redaction are, it would be very easy and appropriate for armchair mappers to fix up Canberra at least just by looking for nodes/ways without tags or ways that don't quite connect (all the classic Keep Right validation rules would suffice). Lots of corners that have had the roundness taken out of them but the name/street type has stayed. _______________________________________________ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
