This seems to be quite misleading because it requires ref keys. I looked at my local area, and found OSM had "0%" coverage. Digging in further, I found that OSM had *all* of the post boxes that I checked already mapped. I had mapped many of those. I seldom include a ref key partly because I hadn't seen any point in the past, and partly because I usually take a quick geotagged photograph when mapping and the reference (to be honest, I am not quite sure I know what it is) is seldom visible or resolved. I suspect this area actually has something close to 100% coverage. This also maybe explains why a nearby mapper a while ago suggested this area hadn't been mapped fully because he had noticed "missing" post boxes. He couldn't identify a missing box except one which I very strongly suspect is spurious having a position in the middle of private fields with no access... Still it is useful to have the list and if and when I remember or have time I may check properly. Casting my eye down the list, I can only see one that I don't immediately recognise as something I have mapped. ael _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
