Very Cool, I think it would be worth going over this at the next meeting, maybe we could put up a wiki page with the roads that are missing and plan the mapping party for areas that are particularly bad. Excellent work cheers Bob

I have also done a area by area comparison and have included this on the second tab of the spreadsheet some area's look very good and some quite poor. I hope to spend some time looking at an area and figuring out where we don't match in order to get any bugs out, but if anyone wants to make any comments then the spreadsheet *should* be writable. Also let me know if there are any other fields that it would be useful to pull out of OSM.
