[OSM-newbies] OS_OpenData

[Paul Williams]

Hi Dudley,
I guess the buildings you are referring to are the ones I mapped a 
little while back before Bing imagery became available.

The shape of the buildings in OS OpenData StreetView is greatly 
simplified so you can improve the building shape by using Bing imagery. 
As the positions of the Bing imagery and of OS StreetView are actually 
very similar in this area I would just go ahead and use the Bing imagery.

Cheers
