Let's not overcomplicate things. :) All that is needed is that someone a) downloads all the OS VectorMap District files b) unzips them c) places the unzipped shapefiles on an FTP server somewhere d) copies api.flickr.com/crossdomain.xml and puts it at the root of their webserver e) job done :) For bonus points, you can create a trivial "find what National Grid tile somewhere is in" index, so you can punch in "Kidderminster" and be told that it's SO87 (and hence that the URL is www.yourdomain.com/SO87/NaturalFeature_Line.shp, or whichever layer you want to load). But that's one call to Nominatim and about 20 lines of Perl so any fule can do that. Steps (a) to (e) require someone with FTP space and bandwidth to spare and I don't have either, or I'd have done it by now. cheers Richard -- View this message in context: http://gis.638310.n2.nabble.com/OSM-Analysis-New-Data-and-bot-tp6455312p6468007.html Sent from the Great Britain mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
