These are the stops that I have checked, have all the NaPTAN tags you would expect, but one or more is in error, such as the bearing. I don't change the NaPTAN tag (as discussed some time earlier) but add a note= tag with the thing(s) I find wrong, including if I moved the stop because I was sure it was in the wrong place. If you check my overlay these are the cyan coloured stops. Click on one and you will see the note. My overlay is a lashup so I would really like to see NOVAM working well. > I should perhaps also note that NOVAM is not working (properly) in > Internet Explorer (anothrer thing I need to look into). > That could be a problem for councils' transport teams who probably mostly use IE. > Cheers, > Christoph > > >> Cheers, Chris >> >> _______________________________________________ >> Talk-transit mailing list >> Talk-transit@openstreetmap.org >> http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-transit >> Cheers, Chris
