Hi,<br><br>I am the developer who works on a number of products including OSM Analysis for ITO.<br><br>I am slightly confused about making the OS Locator box a dashed box if the not:name tag is present. When we do the processing if any street is found with the not:name tag matching an OS Locator street then these should not be flagged in the stats nor should they be drawn on the map. Are you saying that this is not the case and they are still appearing? If this is true then possibly there is a bug that I may want to address (we are usually a day behind the updated planet file so possibly its something to do with that?)<br>
<br>With regard to getting the figures down (in slight fear of being flamed as I am a very novice mapper) - with apostrophes, if the road sign has an apostrophe then I would say the apostrophe should be in OSM and if it is not then it is correct to flag it as a difference. However if the road sign does not have an apostrophe and OS Locator does then probably the road should have a not:name tag added with the apostrophe version of the name. This would remove any apostrophe issues. With regard to rural roads - if they have no road signs is it not better to use the OS Locator name rather than have no name at all as I think in general OS Locator has been proved to be pretty accurate? (apologies if in my ignorance I do not know that there is a good reason not to do this).<br>

<td valign="top">Hi,
<div><br></div>
<div>I have been using the OS_locator and musical chairs tools to focus
on the areas of Edinburgh that needed checking. I have also been using
the ITO analysis tool to check my progress.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div><a href="http://www.itoworld.com/product/data/osm_analysis/" target="_blank">http://www.itoworld.com/product/data/osm_analysis/</a></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>All of these have been very useful and much appreciated</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>I use the boundaries shown in</div>
<div><br></div>
<div><a href="http://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/oswebsite/opendata/viewer/" target="_blank">http://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/oswebsite/opendata/viewer/</a></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>to focus my attention in one area</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>In Edinburgh we have about 87 roads to go. I know that there are
many of these roads that conflict with the OS_Opendata names. This is
due mainly to spelling, roads with two names, new builds that need
survey etc. </div>
<div><br></div>
<div>I believe that there are more roads marked as not in OSM than are
marked in OS_Locator about 20 in the case of Edinburgh. I thought this
may have been service roads or unnamed roads further outside the city, I
found many of these but these do not seem to affect the scores of the
OSM_analysis. I am not sure if this is me just missing roads or OS
database data quirks</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Are there any hints or insights that people can give me to help me
find the last few roads.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Once I have brought the number down I can then check with the
council and have "Street sign, Official Council name, and OS_OpendData
name" and then be able to report to OS.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>On a slightly different note is there any plans to have the
OS_locator squares marked as a dashed line if there is a tag present
that says not:name. This would be useful for me to show that a street
has already been checked</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Many thanks</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Bob</div>
