I'm in Devon and I see the same thing although whether it is just the SW I don't know. <br><br>The Streetview tiles (as I see them in JOSM) are all offset to the SE by 5-10 metres. I've converted some woods in my area from the VectorDistrict data using this process,<br>
<br> <a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Using_OS_Shapefiles">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Using_OS_Shapefiles</a><br><br>and the converted data looks good to me compared to my previous surveys but comes out different to the tiles, so I'm thinking that the tiles are wrong.<br>

Glad I'm not the only one. Here in the SW I see the same offsets, although I find the VectorDistrict data to be more like the GPS surveyed data. This means that the StreetView tiles do not match up with the VectorDistrict either: I've been importing some rivers and reservoirs from the VectorDistrict data (namely the River Chew and Chew Valley Lake) and I've found that the polygons seem to be shifted compared to the equivalent positions in StreetView by about 10 metres.<br>
<br>
I guess this is an expected artifact of the reprojection methods?<br>
