All, I've updated the wiki page with the code I've been using, and smartened up the instructions a bit.
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Bath/OSLocator_Comparison The code isn't perfect (for example, I don't think it works with street names which have an apostrophe - there are probably more problems: if you have a fix, just change the code on the wiki), but as all the checking is manual anyway, this shouldn't matter too much. Also, it is php, not python. You'll need php-cli installed.

Are you going to document the script? Or is it mentioned elsewhere and I’m missing it? I’m sort of tempted to try doing the same around me in Essex. Thanks Ed From: talk-gb-boun...@openstreetmap.org [mailto:talk-gb-boun...@openstreetmap.org] On Behalf Of Tim François Sent: 25 April 2010 20:51 To: talk-gb@openstreetmap.org Subject: Re: [Talk-GB] OS Locator - using in JOSM All, I've just had a go hacking the OSLocator data too for here in Bath. The results look promising: some streets are missing, some streets are spelt incorrectly, whilst others have a ref=* tag, but no name=* tag. What I've done doesn't automatically detect these subtleties of course: it just compares names in OS Locator with names of ways in OSM for the same area, and spits out the names which don't appear in OSM. The results are at: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Bath/OSLocator_Comparison Hope this will prove useful.

I'm hoping to get to it next weekend during the hack weekend but if anyone else gets to it first I'll do something else! -- Brian _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
