After the November floods, the map of Workington [1] in Cumbria was updated very quickly to show the state of the bridges, and the location of the temporary road bridge that was to be built. I've just read on the BBC news site [2] that the temporary bridge is to open today, at 10:30. Can a local please update the map? I'm wary of changing it remotely.
I'm giving a presentation/demonstration on OSM to my local LUG soon, and I'd really like to use this as an example of how OSM can be better than commercial maps, especially since TomTom's VP of ecommerce told PC Pro "There are services like OpenStreetMap, and it's good, but sometimes there's not a bridge when it told you there would be." [3], and their map of Workington still routes people over the damaged bridges :) Russ [1] http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=54.64893&lon=-3.54955&zoom=16 [2] http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/cumbria/8627276.stm [3] http://www.pcpro.co.uk/news/356008/tomtom-shrugs-off-free-apps-threat-with-new-iphone-app _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
