I saw that. Very nice and it seems that in this case a bunch of people started working on the same problem at almost the same time. It is certainly good to have lots of tools and people trying out all sorts of analysis. Plenty more to do! For the record ITO intend to produce some more analysis map views over the next few weeks. We have one in preparation to help improve routing data where the junctions (nodes) are coloured according to the number of links connected to them (their 'valency') and the links will be coloured to indicate various classifications and common errors. This view was requested by CycleStreets some time ago. We expect to offer this one with global coverage but may roll it out in stages to see how the servers hold up. A number of other views are also being developed although I am not clear about the timeline yet. We are also really keen to get OSM Mapper updating in under 12 hours again as it did in the old days when the DB was much smaller. We have sped it up a number of times only to see the DB grow in size again.
