They do not appear to have their own online map. The link to the spreadsheet
data on our wiki are to a gdoc which when I access says will be unavailable
soon. Data needs to be copied elsewhere? The link to the descriptive routes is

<P class=MsoNormal>It won’t be long before the gritters head out onto the
regions roads. Can we collate what information we have for each county regarding
availability/accessibility of data and updates? We also ought to think about
whether a re-ender update is needed (<A
href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Mappa_Mercia/gritting">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Mappa_Mercia/gritting</A>
suggests it hasn’t been updated for ages?). Also the map currently doesn’t show
grit bin locations.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Thus far our focus has been on the west mids but our map
would be a whole lot more useful if we could also be slowly working on getting
data for Warks, Worcs and Staffs as these counties certainly fall under
our wider mercia interest. Also on a personal level the gritting of rural routes
is especially of interest when planning winter cycling routes.<o:p></o:p></P>
