Just to say that have made a few script adjustments. I have increased the range of voltages that the Electricity layer is aware of (and I have also changed the name from 'Electricity distribution' to 'Electricity' since it includes generation as well as distribution).
I have removed sidings of current railways from the Former railways view (more accurately I have removed current railway lines that include 'service=*'). I have removed building=garage, building=school and building=hospital from the buildings/addressing layer to allow the addressing work to focus on residential buildings. This will need a bit more finessing over time and possibly schools should be included. One thing I forgot to mention is that the tiles can be used within editors. Here is the sort of URL that can be used (replace the layer number as appropriate). Personally I haven't found it very useful given that the background is always obscured by the actual vectors in the editor - I would suggest that it would be better to devise suitable matching scripts in Potlatch and possibly also JOSM to colour-code the vectors themselves but I have figured out how to do that yet. http://www.itoworld.com/product/data/ito_map/wms?TILE=$z/$x/$y&LAYERS=9&STYLES=&SRS=EPSG:900913&FORMAT=image%2Fpng&TRANSPARENT=on&SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.1&REQUEST=GetMap&EXCEPTIONS=application%2Fvnd.ogc.se_inimage&WIDTH=256&HEIGHT=256 Regards, Peter On 19 March 2011 10:41, Peter Miller <peter.mil...@itoworld.com> wrote: > > > On 19 March 2011 09:47, Bob Kerr <openstreetmapcraigmil...@yahoo.co.uk>wrote: > >> Excellent, >> >> I have already discovered some discrepancies in Edinburgh using the layers >> layer.
