Sorry, quick update:
I inadvertently introduced a bug yesterday afternoon when adding copyright info to the data produced by the API. This is now corrected. Apologies for the downtime.

To answer your points: Firstly a higher zoom level should be easily possible - the tiles are only stored on the server at one zoom level (insufficient disc space to deal with more) but higher zoom level tiles could easily be dynamically generated on the server on demand with PHP. I don't have a combined file of all the council data, though I think I could probably produce one if necessary. However I have a web API to retrieve council (and OSM) data via bounding box: www.mapthepaths.org.uk/row.php?bbox=west,south,east,north&layer=L<http://www.mapthepaths.org.uk/row.php?bbox=west,south,east,north&layer=L> (where L is either osm or council) Note that requesting a very large bounding box is likely to cause server problems - this is untested. I could add the 1900 data, yes. I'll look into the excluded unitary authorities - yes I would have skipped over Bradford and Blackburn as they sounded very urban! Some UAs are not available on rowmaps - Conwy springs to mind. In terms of the editing functionality (when implemented), I won't allow users to delete any existing tags. It will be more a case of a very simplistic interface allowing users to add designation and prow_ref tags where these are not present. Rob - yes I saw that email. I will try and get along if I can, it would be great to get involved. I'll post an update once I've implemented your suggestions.

Spent some time last night adding designations to existing OSM paths using one of the OGL datasets. A couple of questions: 1. Do you have a combined ROW dataset (bringing all the rowmaps files together)? If so could you host this somewhere. 2. Is it possible to allow one more zoom in on the map. For some very short ROWs it would be good to zoom in and have a closer look. 3. Could you add the GB1900 data as an additional source (the so called 2026 missing paths)? Finally, did you spot my email from Chris that I posted to talk-gb? There is a launch event in London early July if you can make it. Best regards, Rob
