In Southwark I experimented with bulk importing buildings auto-traced from OS
StreetView, but gave up in favour of manually tracing from Bing imagery. I was
supplementing both methods with ground surveys.<br>
<br>
I switched when I approached central London parts of Southwark, where OS
StreetView is of such poor quality that it was fairly useless.<br>
<br>
In central and south Southwark I still think it provides a good "first
pass", which can be improved by tracing Bing imagery and ground surveys to
refine shapes and add addresses.<br>
<br>
Browse around and judge for yourself.<br>
<br>
I would also cite the errors we have found in OS Locator as a reason for
preferring ground surveys, using the OS product as a tool to indicate possible
errors to check out. We found 56 errors in Southwark.<br>
<br>

Tom<br>

<p class=MsoNormal>I have been asked by editor of the Cartographic Journal to
write a short piece on the effect of the release of OS OpenData on the
OpenStreetMap project, and I am just trying to gather my thoughts, and make
sure I cover all bases.<br>
I was present at Blackadder's Society of Cartographers talk on "Why OSM
won't be bulk importing OS OpenData" and am aware of the work Chris Hill
has done on admin boundaries etc.<br>
Obviously also aware of the ITO work with OS Locator and what people have done
with that.<br>
There was work on importing detailed water features, was that Chris as well
(goes off to read back through his blog).<br>
Can anyone point me to others who have explored the possibilities that OS
OpenData provided - PARTICULARLY if they can evidence WHY it is NOT of value to
OSM?<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>
