If so it will be massive job to tag the roads in Warwicks ( it's got to be twice the size of the authorities we've mapped so far!) - so lots of volunteers will be required! It will be a good exercise to improve OSM data in Warwicks as I just can't resist realigning roads and improving junctions as I go round tagging for gritting, and if everyone follows suit then Warwicks will improve no end<o:p></o:p></div></div><div><div style="margin-top: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0cm; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; "><o:p> </o:p></div></div><div><div style="margin-top: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0cm; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; ">Regards<o:p></o:p></div></div><div><div style="margin-top: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0cm; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; "><o:p> </o:p></div></div><div><div style="margin-top: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0cm; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; ">Brian<o:p></o:p></div></div></div>_______________________________________________<br>Talk-gb-westmidlands mailing list<br><a href="mailto:Talk-gb-westmidlands@openstreetmap.org" style="color: blue; text-decoration: underline; ">Talk-gb-westmidlands@openstreetmap.org</a><br><a href="http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb-westmidlands" style="color: blue; text-decoration: underline; ">http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb-westmidlands</a><br></div></blockquote></div><br></div></body></html>
