No reference to OSM however. </div>

<p>I suspect that the Guardian just printed the press release from
OSGB and the Sunday Times sent an extra email - presumably the
extra money from subscriptions allows them to do that :)<br>

<p>That's a really good point that I hadn't realised until now - the
OS don't generally have that level of detail, do they? Actually
when this sort of question last popped up it transpired that they
didn't have a routable path network outside the national parks,
which I presume is this product:<br>

<p>As OS GB are using OSM data in at least their mobile products,
perhaps OSM UK should lobby whichever bit of government that deals
with that sort of thing** that we ought to get told at the same
time as they are of any road changes etc.? :)<br>
