<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><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><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>
