<p class=MsoBodyText><font size=2 face=Tahoma><span lang=EN-GB
style='font-size:10.0pt;line-height:120%'>For those of you who noticed the
problem with our daily update for a few days last week, you might be interested
to know that this was caused by a big increase in the size of the European dataset
when a new large bulk import arrived which exploded our import process and prompted
us to do this work a little earlier than we intended! We should now be back
with regular daily updates and sorry about the inconvenience in the mean time.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoBodyText><font size=2 face=Tahoma><span lang=EN-GB
style='font-size:10.0pt;line-height:120%'>We have also made some minor
improvement to the product’s functionality: we added a link to the OSM feature
browser so you can see more details about a feature and its history, we have
fixed some problems with accessing pages without first having signed in our
site which caused problems for RSS users in particular, we have improved the
map quality by drawing selected features on top and we have improved our
bounding box algorithm to stop large features such as long ferry routes from
appearing incorrectly in area reports. More details on our blog soon.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
