If you work on North Norfolk systematically you will find that it won't take that long and even if you only do one part of it then that would be great. Personally I start the the places nearest where I live and clear all the big boxes (relating to long roads) in the area the first day. On the next session I work on the small errors boxes the following day and then do a mopping up exercise of the ones I missed and added my own errors on the final day. I also tend to do the rural areas first and then 'creap up on the big town'. I am working on Colchester at present and am ready to do the town itself now. I do about 100 streets in a session. You may alternatively choose to go slower and add more data richness to the area from Bing and OS Streetview and not even attempt to clear a whole district. One can added lots of paths, zebra crossings, landuse etc from Bing which is really useful. If I find conficts between OS Locator and OSM with different names for the same road (which is less of a problem where these is less mapping already done) I use a variety of methods to decide if there is an clear winner. Firstly I type the street into google search (not google maps) and normally house searches results will come up with a favourite and that is the one I go with. It might also come up with an address for a business on the street etc. If it isn't clear from that then I leave it for a local person to sort out later. I might in that case add a 'fixme=name needs to be checked, OS Locator says 'fdsffds' ' or something. Regards, Peter > Can be either.
