Please post this message to the Talk-GB list. I have already posted to the OSM Community<https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/differences-between-osm-and-sustrans-mapping-of-the-uk-national-cycle-network/134337>
Differences between OSM and Sustrans mapping of the UK National Cycle Network With the help of Sustrans volunteers and the OSM community, Simon Pratt is leading a task to resolve differences between Sustrans and OSM mapping of the UK National Cycle Network. Sustrans has created an interactive map<https://experience.arcgis.com/experience/4aa90c1c621645159bde935c010d1b85> showing the differences between Sustrans and OSM National Cycle Network mapping. Currently there are several hundred of these differences. Simon Pratt worked for Sustrans for 28 years, most recently as Head of Network Development UK, where he led the creation of the Network Development Plan<https://www.sustrans.org.uk/national-cycle-network/our-plans-to-improve-the-national-cycle-network/> for the NCN. Simon is now leading the task of resolving the largest differences between the two geodatabases, Sustrans and OSM mapping. How can I get involved? 1. Checking the map yourself You can view the Sustrans differences map for your area and start to make changes yourself in OSM. There is a direct link from the features on the map to OSM for ease of editing. If there are changes that you think need to be made to Sustrans NCN mapping, please contact Simon in the first instance. You can also draw a polygon around the feature and post your comments. 1. Look out for a map note in your area. Simon will be making minor changes to Sustrans and OSM mapping himself where the errors are obvious. But, where a decision is needed, Simon will get in touch with people in a specific geographic area to help resolve the issue using a map note. More information is available at this OSM wiki page<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Differences_between_OSM_and_Sustrans_mapping_of_National_Cycle_Network>. Please note that a buffer of 100 metres has been used between the two datasets, so that only the larger differences are included. This task is for the whole of the UK and is likely to take several months, but Simon has started in the South of England as he is more familiar with the region, and then work his way across the rest of the UK.
