Hi Ben,

Fascinating idea. If I understand correctly, you have a (confidential)
list of addresses and are checking if they can be found in OSM? I
assume you already have GPS coordinates for these addresses and place
a black spot there if the street is not found?

You can't share the addresses, but you can share rendered heatmaps?
How large is the collection of images? Is it at one fixed zoom level?

I think they would be useful for active mappers, who can then check if
there are any areas in their territory they may have missed. Few
people will want the whole data set, so we should find some way of
making it available by region. I know I'd be interested to see if
there are any black spots near my home.

Cheers,
Jw
