I have no problem on them being removed, but while cross checking they were a useful reference, and seeing the entry I can see how many are different in edubase. Of cause what would be nice is a tool that imports third party data records given a reference in OSM. But don't assume that the data provided by the third party are more up to date than the OSM version ;) A substantial number of the website links I loaded are out of date on the edubase records :( OSM is now more accurate than edubase ... -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk Rainbow Digital Media - http://rainbowdigitalmedia.co.uk _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
