This is splendid. I've thought we should have something reusable like this, since the cycle-shop finder, but don't have the coding skills to JFDI. Is this Kent council data, or NHS? Can't we get national data on phramacies from the latter? -- Andy Mabbett @pigsonthewing http://pigsonthewing.org.uk _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
