<p>I think some of that may well be me, I've been slowly but surly fixing it, but is compounded by the road network being a complete mess in many places, the difficulty in getting GPS lock to get something to align Bing too, and being 200km from my home town! The western half of Ashton and southern half of the city centre being sorted in the main.</p>
<p>Annoyingly that is one junction I fixed until my editor crashed on upload :-(</p>

Hi All,<br>
<br>
I noticed some weirdness when doing some openstreetmap-carto work.<br>
<br>
<a href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=53.763681&lon=-2.723075&zoom=18&layers=M" target="_blank">http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=53.763681&lon=-2.723075&zoom=18&layers=M</a><br>
<br>
Notice a few things:<br>
<br>
* Overlapping buildings (e.g. to the south of the junction)<br>
* Strange triangular partial-buildings<br>
* Incredibly thin buildings (e.g. to the north of the junction)<br>
* Unlikely shapes of buildings (e.g. to the east)<br>
<br>
Move a bit further north:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=53.767768&lon=-2.731803&zoom=18&layers=M" target="_blank">http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=53.767768&lon=-2.731803&zoom=18&layers=M</a><br>
<br>
Now I don't know the area, but I'll bet they don't build<br>
higgledy-piggledy like that in Preston.<br>
<br>
A brief look suggests this changeset:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/changeset/5994643" target="_blank">http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/changeset/5994643</a><br>
<br>
and the tags on the buildings suggest it's an import:<br>
<br>
source = Auto_OS_OpenData_StreetView<br>
<br>
So does anyone want to try fixing, redoing or reverting this, er, stuff?<br>
<br>
And does anyone know how widespread such "Auto_OS_OpenData_StreetView"<br>
damage is around the country? Taginfo suggests there's 45 598<br>
cases - hopefully not all this bad?<br>
<br>

Cheers,<br>
