people's preference for locations please shout up again.
Scotland! I was just browsing around on z10 (i.e. the last level
before vmap0 built-up areas disappear) and was somewhat dismayed to
find that even towns big enough for vmap0 don't even have a place=town
node in them yet (c.f. Mallaig)! The main cities are progressing, but
there's lots of areas that could do with some TLC.
South of the M8 - the Ardrossan/Prestwick/Kilmarnok/Ayr/Troon arc,
Stranraer, Dumfries, Berwick (OK technically that's in England)
North of the M8 - some places have started but might need some help,
like Falkrik Stirling and Perth
Agree - most of Scotland needs a lot of work. While the Central belt is
well covered most places outside of this area need some work, for
example Inverness and Aberdeen have been fully traced from the yahoo
imagery; however not much groundwork has been done, and most towns in
Northeast have barely any coverage. So we need to get more activity
kickstarted in those area's.
Although sometimes I'm surprised; on as trip up to Killin earlier this
year I discovered that not only had it been mapped but an article had
also been written in the local newsletter! (http://twitpic.com/1duux)
It's probably up to those of us living here to get some mapping party's
up and running to cover these area's.
Cheers
Chris
