[Talk-gb-westmidlands] Staffs Boundary VC NUMBER 39

[Ed Loach]

The Watsonian Vice Country boundaries are described here:

http://www.nbn.org.uk/Useful-things/Mapping/VCB-page1.aspx

and I received confirmation that now they have switched to the same
licence that the OS use for their Opendata we can use their data
should we want to in the same way we use OS Opendata:

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Tag:boundary%3Dvice_county

 

I haven’t added any missing vice counties personally, but have
“completed” any relations that weren’t closed. I have a daily
routine that checks all the boundary relations in the GB extract and
reports on any that are broken. Vice counties get reported on at

http://www.loach.me.uk/osm/boundaries/vice_county.aspx

 

And yes, they don’t render but as they are really for fairly
specialist use I don’t think that’s a bad thing.

Hi everyone

 

Came across this while editing in Smethwick with a source of
nbn_opendata . Relation no is 298889. What is it?  It's been edited
by a bot known as xybot- I've contacted the owner and I'm awaiting a
reply. Does anybody know what it is? Whatever it is, it's not
rendering, only shows up in the editors.

 

Regards

 

Brian
