That's really "UK Urban Mapping Priorities" though, isn't it? Personally I'd rather know which rural pubs were still open* around the towns concerned than the full map of all of the backstreets. I suspect that the problem is that the places on this list tend not to be places that you'd actively choose to visit in summer. I live not far from Mansfield, so taking that as an example (to avoid being disrespectful to anyone else's home town!), it isn't somewhere that you'd normally go to unless you absolutely had to. Looking at who's been there in ITO's OSM Mapper and based on list / IRC comments I suspect that much of the work there has been done remotely (e.g. streets that are known not to have changed from the NPE era have been traced and named using NAPTAN information). Maybe (for the Mansfields of this world) a way to build on that would just be to try and get more GPS traces first? There are lots of bus stops in Mansfield Woodhouse that could be used to name streets if where the streets actually went was recorded. * OS paper maps are out of date as soon as they're printed, and they're not updated that often. Google Maps seem to have done uploads from all sorts of places including Wikipedia - in addition to the "dummy" (ex-Navteq?) data they list villages that don't exist and in the wrong place and pubs that have never existed. _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
