<P class=MsoNormal>All,<BR><BR>I've just had a go hacking the OSLocator data too for here in Bath. The results look promising: some streets are missing, some streets are spelt incorrectly, whilst others have a ref=* tag, but no name=* tag. What I've done doesn't automatically detect these subtleties of course: it just compares names in OS Locator with names of ways in OSM for the same area, and spits out the names which don't appear in OSM.<BR><BR>The results are at: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Bath/OSLocator_Comparison<BR><BR>Hope this will prove useful.<BR><BR>Tim<BR><BR>--- On <B>Fri, 23/4/10, Brian Quinion <I><openstreetmap@brian.quinion.co.uk></I></B> wrote:
