Just read through a short discussion about differences in street names in OSM and 'OS Locator', and problems caused by differences in names given<br>The classic problem is where the road street sign says something like 'Dukes Drive' but OS locator states Duke's Drive.<br>
Noticed that common view was OSM mapped what was on the ground, so road sign name was added. <br><br>Having come across roads where road names differ on adjacent roads signs, I'm not too sure road signs can be 100% relied on, but OS also clearly make mistakes.<br>
Has anyone heard of how this problem is dealt with by authorities (eg councils) as they seem to rely on OS as a definitive source for mapping data.<br><br>Jason<br><br><br><br>
