Its not perfectly positioned and I think the circumference is a tad short but I made a reasonably good insert of the CERN LHC (and SPS) into the database last night in time for the first full circle beam test of the LHC, which has just successfully completed. So, for anyone wanting to know exactly where the two accelerator rings are in the world it's now possible to point them to OpenStreetMap. Another first for community mapping :-)
http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=46.2731&lon=6.073&zoom=12&layers=0B00FTF I hope the data made the planet dump (JIT), in which case it should appear also on the Mapnik layer shortly. For now the two rings are tagged with highway=trunk and highway=primary respectively. They also carry tunnel=true of course. There are a couple of big notes tagged as well that confirm the highway tag is less than ideal and that something better needs to be used. But for now, since they don't connect with the road network I don't think anyone will be routing over them ;-) enjoy Cheers Andy _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
