<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">I suspect the problem with Leicester is simply fewer mappers and therefore much more higher noise to signal. Also Leicester is odd in having a very active mapping community early on and much less (comparatively)
activity more recently. Although the same is probably true of both Liverpool & Manchester.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Given that active mapping communities on a per country basis are often in the hundreds or low thousands using a city as big as London makes sense, even allowing for the effect of visitors. It's also too big
for a few dedicated mappers to do on their own.<o:p></o:p></p>

Or as you are based in my old hometown of Les-tah, why not use that as<br>
a starting point to get to grips with OSM data. It has fewer variables<br>
and is mostly mapped by locals. It is not such a tourist attraction as<br>
London.<br>
<br>
And as for learning OSM it makes sense to start with where you are, if<br>
something is puzzling you then you can go and have look see without<br>
traveling 100 miles.<br>
