<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Had a look at the standard map and
there's also issues with highway=pedestrian - either not being
shown at all or being displayed just like a normal road (despite
having never been mapped as such in OSM!). Suppose that's a Mapbox
issue as well then, as Jez says.<br>

<div dir="ltr">Hi all,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Back in April this year, there was a discussion here about
Ordnance Survey and issues with their use of OSM data. OS has
a free map that is sourcing, via Mapbox, footway/path/track
data from OSM, but ignoring access restrictions. Resulting in
OS app users going down ways which OSM tags
access=no/private/destination. </div>

<div>Noticed yesterday that OS are updating their "free" map,
but the access issues are still there. This free map is called
"Standard Map". OS state "Standard Map is our free map layer
which can be used by people all around the world to help them
get outside." Links to the existing map, and a link to page
with new version are below<br>

<div>Current Map - <a

<div>Upcoming Version - <a

<div>OS appears to be adding several types of data from OSM but
I don't have the capability to work them all out. (e.g.
footways, paths, tracks, park names & viewpoints) and I
have noted they don't show highway=steps leading to misleading
gaps in footways/paths. In the new map they appear to remove
all OS path data, relying entirely on OSM<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I believe this new/newer "Standard Map"could become popular
in the UK, and not just for walkers. It looks better, and has
good detail, and POI layers. But... the issue with the poor
use of OSM data still remains. The map still appears not to
engage with the existence of the OSM access tag. I am
concerned issues with the public going down private ways will
increase, and that OS will refer the public to OSM stating
it's an OSM issue. Did anybody reach out to OS at the time of
the last discussion, and was there any response?<br>
