My main client base is council based systems, so I HAVE the LLPG data for each client. I just can't use it in OSM. The main problem here is I'm using OSM to display location information so that staff can manage things like 'change of address', and YES recording changes to the LLPG data in order to amend the raw data which is then uploaded to NLPG. Using OSM allows much more flexible options on the user interface than OS does and potentially the whole country can be kept up to date simply because the data is already being digitised and we the UK public are paying for that! Drawing a line around each boundary is still a problem as are areas in general in OSM. I'm not happy with using 'relations' to draw areas, but simply drawing a polygon for a field or property boundary is messy when one needs to add gates, boundary style, and yes 'hidden' elements such as open driveways. So one is essentially limited to creating a relation for each property and then does one include the buildings within the area in the relation? Which is why I've stopped at just drawing boundary types so far. Actually the property boundaries on our road include the area of grass outside the front fence, but not the path which is another detail not yet added ... -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk Rainbow Digital Media - http://rainbowdigitalmedia.co.uk _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
