<div dir="ltr"><div>The big difference of the old Locator layer from ITO is that it displayed the name. The other tool which used OS locator is Robert Scott's <a href="https://ris.dev.openstreetmap.org/oslmusicalchairs/map">OSL Musical Chairs</a>. Both suffer because OS Locator was last released in 2016.</div><div><br></div><div>One way to get potentially missing names is to use OS Open Roads. These are big shape files, so its probably best to cut them down using something like ogr2ogr, or QGIS. The file can be pulled in as a custom layer in iD, Potlatch and as a standard layer in JOSM. </div><div><br></div><div>A more elaborate approach is to grab the OSM roads in an area (e.g., with an Overpass Turbo query), pull them in to QGIS, buffer by 25 m & use the buffered layer to find any roads in OS Open Road which are outside the buffered area. This in turn can be saved in a form for use as a custom layer in editors. With JOSM & Potlatch 2 (I think) you can use this as the basis of a to do list to check each missing road.</div><div><br></div><div>Obviously webhosted layers would be more convenient for the average mapper.</div><div><br></div><div>Jerry</div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div class="gmail_attr" dir="ltr">On Thu, 28 Nov 2019 at 10:02, Paul Berry <<a href="mailto:pmberry2007@gmail.com">pmberry2007@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;padding-left:1ex;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);border-left-width:1px;border-left-style:solid"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr">>
