I was bored so I think I cleaned up most of the village. It's easy to see what the mapper really intended with some basic mapping experience and knowledge of how streets are normally placed. Of course a survey is needed for poi's, but it's not needed to change a strange way to the side at the end of a street into a turning circle. Also, the gps tracks seemed to align well enough to Bing.
I have never edited in Great Britain before so I hope I didn't step on any toes, but I have edited in southern Sweden since 2008 and before I started there was barely anything there... /Andreas On Sat, Aug 23, 2014 at 3:55 AM, SomeoneElse <li...@mail.atownsend.org.uk> wrote: > On 23/08/2014 02:03, Dave F. wrote: > > ...
