Because I was looking at OSM in places where I'd mapped stuff (and then in the Peak District where Dudley has been mapping walls like mad) I hadn't realised that many of the linear features are Lidar-based. We ought to look at that for OSM directly! At smaller scales where these do show as lines it looks fine ,and very much better than OSM which introduces them too late for utility in countryside cartography for walkers. With the Access Land a somewhat unconventional approach might be to place the border bleed on the *outside* of the area rather than inside. I cant think of any regular maps which do this, but I've found such 'halos' useful to pcik-out small features which would otherwise not be readily visible at smaller scales. I must say I completely agree about the painfulness of PostGIS for this process of comparison. There must be a better way! Jerry
