Just to say that have made a few script adjustments.<br><br>I have increased the range of voltages that the Electricity layer is aware of (and I have also changed the name from 'Electricity distribution' to 'Electricity' since it includes generation as well as distribution). <br>
<br>I have removed sidings of current railways from the Former railways view (more accurately I have removed current railway lines that include 'service=*').<br><br>I have removed building=garage, building=school and building=hospital from the buildings/addressing layer to allow the addressing work to focus on residential buildings. This will need a bit more finessing over time and possibly schools should be included.<br>
<br>One thing I forgot to mention is that the tiles can be used within editors. Here is the sort of URL that can be used (replace the layer number as appropriate). Personally I haven't found it very useful given that the background is always obscured by the actual vectors in the editor - I would suggest that it would be better to devise suitable matching scripts in Potlatch and possibly also JOSM to colour-code the vectors themselves but I have figured out how to do that yet. <br>

</td></tr></tbody></table></blockquote></div><div><br>Layers seem to be in a terrible muddle in many parts of the country. I have spent a good number of hours over the past week sorting out layering in East Anglia and in London/Essex/Herts to the north of the Thames. A combination of no clear guidelines, confusion over how to tag islands and clearings in woods etc, warnings from JOSM? as well as no visibility of the tagging itself led to a profusion of errors. In some parts of the country and across Europe it seems to have become established practice to tag all rivers and streams as layer=-1. As such some I hope some serious rationalisation will take place.<br>
<br>Regarding hospitals, doctors etc, ye that would be good. We currently offer 22 different overlays and I can see this easily getting to 100 or more - heath being one, sport being another etc etc. Each additional layer places an addition burden on the servers. I suggest we leave it at about 22 for the next 2-4 weeks while we sort out any snags and optimise the caching etc and then look to increase the number of views. Our priority at present is to move to global coverage of the existing layers.<br>

Date: Friday, 18 March, 2011, 14:12<div><div></div><div><br><br><div>ITO are pleased to
announce a set of new 'overlay maps' for OpenStreetMap which can highlights some of the data layers, such as speed limits, highway lane widths, whether rivers are navigable and if buildings have addresses etc.<br>
<br>The service is still very much in beta and may suffer if many people jump on it at the same time but lets see what happens.<br><br>The service is available here:<br><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.itoworld.com/product/data/ito_map/main" target="_blank">http://www.itoworld.com/product/data/ito_map/main</a><br>
<br>And a wiki description is available here:<br><a rel="nofollow" href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/ITO_Map" target="_blank">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/ITO_Map</a><br><br>We are starting with a service for a bounding box that included the UK and northern France, Holland, a bit of Germany and up to southern Norway and a separate bounding box including the bay area, SF. The tiles will always be based current daily diff planet data (with a 24 hour processing lag). We should never serve old tiles from old data. If the service is noticeably slow then please give it a break for a hour and then try again.<br>
<br>We will roll out the service to more areas as the system beds in and then globally over the next few weeks assuming that the servers hold up.<br><br>We will gather feedback over the next week or so and then many some changes to the service to iron out any wrinkles.<br>
