We have produced another set of stats for OSM and OS Locator. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/685499/OSM_OSLocator_stats%2020100602.csv
A quick bit of spreadsheet analysis between the two files shows that 7500 roads have been added in the past couple of days and that a bunch of places have increased their percentage by over 5%. The list of big gainers (>5%) is as follows and are ordered by the % increase - and yes, I should go and get a life but so should some people in Merseyside! Babergh Knowsley Suffolk Coastal Mid Suffolk Sefton Liverpool Pendle Gosport West Lindsey Burnley North Lincolnshire Sedgefield Braintree Tunbridge Wells Northampton We won't produce these daily, but I will publish another set in a few days. If we have time we will provide a way to view them online with an automatic update sometime next week. We also intend to add stats about comparisons with other datasets, including Edubase (for schools), NaPTAN (bus stops) and the NPTG Gazetteer (places) etc to help gauge the quality of different areas for different purposes. We will then be close to being able to recommend OSM for general usage in certain authorities where coverage is above a certain threshold. These later tests will not happen just yet though. Fyi, the following authorities have greater that 90% of OS Locator names in OSM (again in order of quality). Do remember that I got to test the tools out for a couple of days in Ipswich before they were released to everyone else!
