<br>
The location was one of the plus points of OSM I mentioned in my
email to them, however, for the ones I've checked they don't
appear to be /that/ bad. They certainly appeared to be better than
Google itself (Inside a roundabout for instance) so I was curious
if CAMRA had used google's geocoder. From there website Is there
as way to check?<br>

Considering CAMRA's What Pub? website is volunteer, crowd
sourced, I was mildly disappointed to see it using Google
maps. I've just this minute written an email to them
explaining some of the advantages of using OSM. I thought
if any actual CAMRA members here could also chip in it
might persuade them to swap over. <a

It might even be possible to share databases to improve
the quality of both.<br>
