not perfectly positioned and I think the circumference is a tad short<BR>but
I made a reasonably good insert of the CERN LHC (and SPS) into
the<BR>database last night in time for the first full circle beam test of
the LHC,<BR>which has just successfully completed. So, for anyone wanting to
know<BR>exactly where the two accelerator rings are in the world it's now
possible<BR>to point them to OpenStreetMap. Another first for community
mapping :-)<BR><BR><A

carry tunnel=true of course. There are a couple of<BR>big notes tagged as
well that confirm the highway tag is less than ideal and<BR>that something
better needs to be used. But for now, since they don't<BR>connect with the
