Probably one of the best example areas is Lincolnshire which was very poorly mapped indeed prior to OS Opendata or Bing imagery being available. Afterwards there was a push by some to at least get the road network in by armchair mapping. Any analysis like this needs to consider the timing of data release with what other data sources were in use or impacted the same time period and what was being discussed within the community (eg on the mailing list). In some case someone will have pointed out a need and others will have risen to the challenge of improving the map.

I'm talking about areas like Suffolk (but not Norfolk), > Lancashire but not North Yorkshire? There are many such examples. Norfolk just didn't have any active mappers at that time. Norwich was fairly active, but most people who live in Norwich don't really consider themselves to live in Norfolk. It wasn't until 2011 that we got some good mappers in North Norfolk and we managed to get 100% completion on the ITO OSM analysis. I personally used OSSV extensively. PinkDuck didn't actually do the NAPTAN import, by the way. The edit which you are referring to was a tag change on all of the already imported relations if I remember correctly. -- Borbus. _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
